If there are so many people out there without medicines or water, it has nothing to do with NANO. When TATA says its a people's car it does not mean that a guy who has NO MONEY can buy this car. It just says that he can pay very less when compared to other car if he wanted to OWN one. Simple.
I cannot comment on the land planed for NANO production. But I really think that a Guy like TATA will have certain ethics of not to spoil any families or people life. So, the land may be selected because it does not provide much option for agri or may be because it provides better alternate to the farmers owning it.
If the only argument from you is that NANO will not come in 1 Lac, then let it be, but it is definitely 1 lac lesser to the cheapest car. So that 1 Lac is a real good money for the common man who like to own a car. With the current inflation I wont be surprised if again all car prices are hiked 2 or 3 times within this year end.
So I feel that the comments like "Stop NANO because it will create traffic chaos or bad drivers" etc should be thrased. India is a vast country with so much of land. Cities are not the only place to drive this cars. We have so many villages near to city where people can use this.
Still i see the Hero majestic and TVS mopeds used for transporting Milk containers in many villages, Many people do business on these vehicles in remote villages. these car will surely find its way. Infact be ready to witness more revolutionary inventions in the usage of this car  |
Why create something if you know full well we do not have the infrastucture to cope ? Corporates like TATA have a moral and ethical responsibility for their creations. Life is not all about making as much money as you can.
What is stopping TATA laying new roads on a BOT basis ?
The people's car tag implies a car for the masses. The water example etc was to highlight that it is far from a peoples car as the vast majority of people (BPL) have more pressing concerns.
