Actually Toyota started producing cars in 1936 and became a force to reckon with in the late 70's/early 80's. So effectively it took them over 4 decades to come upto the level of the established players. Similarly Hyundai/Kia etc. also started production properly in the '70's & are now in the process of becoming major players internationally after 3 decades or so.
Hence, I would say that article is nothing much but hot air for the biggies like Toyota, GM, Ford etc. Tata needs atleast another 2 decades or so to have internationally competitive products going at the current rate of progress.
