The company needs to be :

1. Dynamic and totally in tune with the buyers desiers.
2. Offer great customer service both in sales and service.
3. Constantly update and modernize their products without too much of a corresponding increase in price.
4. Widespread dealer network.
Lets see point by point who wins this. this is purely my opinion.i am discussing only the basic entry level cars here, which should really be the people's cars.

1. Reliable. - Maruti / Hyundai
2. Fuel Efficient. - Maruti / Hyundai / TATA
3. Cheap to service and maintain. Maruti / TATA / Hyundai
4. Safe No Points
5. Good Looking and Modern. Although, I do feel that looks are something that buyers of these cars are willing to compromise on for the first 3 points. - Maruti

The company needs to be :

1. Dynamic and totally in tune with the buyers desiers. - NONE
2. Offer great customer service both in sales and service. - Maruti
3. Constantly update and modernize their products without too much of a corresponding increase in price. None
4. Widespread dealer network. - Maruti

Final Scores
1. Maruti - 6 Points
2. TATA - 2 Points
3. Hyundai - 3 Points

TATA could have been given a point for constant updates, but i dont think fault rectifications could be called as updates like the Operating Systems we use.
