Not only Tata..two other Indian car makers Maruti and Bajaj are coming up with their own Rs 1 Lakh variants.
If these cars sell well (which no doubt they will), then this trend could soon follow in other developing countries of the world...
here, have a puff  |

£1290? What a cheap car. The opposite end of the scale to their prospective new aquasition, Jaguar and Land Rover.

Crashes in India don't seem to happen, at least in Mumbai. Even though the roads are mayhem compared to here I only saw one "crash" over the time I was there. They can't go fast enough to crash! (not the car, the driver!)
