I think All IT/Manufacturing sectors should find a solution for HUMAN Pollution than ENVIRONMENT pollution as this is the Root cause for all. Recently you all must have heard that some ANTI SOCIAL SECTION in our society Mostly Engineers/Doctor get it IT & use their Brain to encourage Terrorism in INDIA (I am talking about YAHYA case, an Ex employee of a IT Major)All these social Pollutants should be immediately sacked & this society should not be recruited as they are very difficult to find who is Terrorist & who is NOT. our GREEN Part of INDIA's HAND is also behind them So be careful & don't recruit these ANTI SOCIAL eliments if they are already in Then its time to SACK them immediately

Yes, it is - because you don't need to buy OIL. However, you do need to charge the battery and I seriously don't know how much that would come to.

Oye Anima,
Tara is ex-showroom price and Nano is ex-factory price! So Tara will be cheaper by a larger margin! Of course all this only if they dont increase price after few months.
Tata's introduced IndiOne hotel at Rs. 900 a day and slowly increased it to 1599/- now.

why bring vajpayee into this? The few good roads that we have today are due to his persistence.
Also, just about every computer running eve your data in the US and developed nations is China-made. So, it cannot be all that abd with china, can it? Lenovo is a chinese company, too.
Also, I have never heard of a chinese good breaking into pieces in reality. I've only heard such stories.

I think this bad mouthing of china is done mostly by local product manufacturers of India whose products are often of questionable quality BUT selling at higher prices.
When asked about why the price is so high and why one should not go for chinese products, these manufacturers will say - see, chinese products will break into pieces. that is why you should not go for them (and buy our expensive good for nothing piece instead). The only benefit accrues to them.

I am not an avid supporter of Mr AB Bajpai but he tried to improve the situation - in fact, the credit for GQ in reality goes to him only, as far as I know. Rest all, we know of and absolutely agree with you. Today, Chinese made products are everywhere - including USA. Let us see the product first. But I see a positive side of cheap and non-everlasting Chinese products. Everybody wants a change - like new model, newer technology - that way, I occasionally support Chinese technology.

Yes u are quite right , but one fact is AbV or rather bjp started that project one or two year before election ,if they were honest in their efforts they must have been initiated this after one year of coming to power thereafter fruits of that was started coming before election& start a new initiative before election

We indians are very proud that industries are coming to india setting up their units and going into production. surely it is helping india . the other side of the story is that they are using our natural resources at no cost compared to the profits they are making. the worst part is the poluttion they are creating. they dispose harmful waste in water, air. they make huge profits. all stock market investors are happy that the stock is going up.
companies have nothing to loose...they making profits on zero risk.we as a country is excited abt growing GDP, improvement in economic position.
only few people are prospering with globalisation.....the major percentage of indians are still poor. govt has opened SEZ to snatch land giving it a patriotic flavor. people who loose land ask them how they feel.
as a country we should support industries which are Indian whose profits remain in INDIA. otherwise, what is the use of foreign players employing thousands of Indians and pay them peanuts and they themselves make a bomb.

Yes, true.... we need to change according to time. But before that we should be clear where the time is taking us.... whether it is to the right place or to a totally wrong place, from where we can never escape.

Rightly said..... industrial growth alone will not uplift the poor people in the villages. The employment opportunities created by the industrialists are only for a small % of the population, and that too in developing cities. We should not forget the people who are living in the villages with 'zero' amenities. I would say agriculture is most important for India rather than industrial growth. If agriculture is neglected, we will be facing a big trouble in future. We will have castles, cars, hi-tech living, and all luxuries.... BUT NO FOOD. The first priority to be given to agriculture, so that India can be self-sufficient in all food items - wheat, rice, grains, oil, vegetables etc. Otherwise we may have to depend on neighbouring countries for all these items, resulting in huge imports (shameful to say, it's for essential items) and draining out of all foreign exchage reserves. What ever money created through the industrial developement will not be suficient to pay out such huge imports. Ultimately, only a few rich will be able to afford to have food for 3 times a day. I think it's to be highlighted that Agriculture must be the strength of our country. PS: I am also earning my bread serving a company, like most of you here, and not a farmer. I just said what seems to be right for me.

This is false information - rumour. Fact is that chinese toys are actually better than others, unless you're talking about the really poor quality ones - as if we don't have poor quality indian good, do we???
I believe BHEL had once developed a small battery operated mini bus. I do not see it now. Can anybody tell us about it? In any case, any vehicle running on bio-fuel, dual-fuel, battery/electricity is welcome. This will lower our oil import cost and it is good for environment. I cannot comment on the technical side of these vehicles. But it will create congestion on road with parking problems. But every side has its goods and bads. We only have to decide what to choose.

Hello, I think we are finding solution to a problem by creating another problem. The price of car/two-wheeler will be cheaper with this electric version...but on a daily basis you need to charge the battery!!! To charge a small mobile battery it takes 2 to 4 hours! You will tend to pay around 2000-3000 per month for charging this vehicle...so in 5 years(minimum life!) u will pay around 2 Lakhs.

dont know abt this particular model, but the other e-car (Reva) used to bill around 800 rupees / month for avg 50km travel daily.

Once I had seen them at Agra. Now a days no engine driven bus is allowed near Taj, so they were perrying passengers between Bus-station and entrance of the Taj. Ride was smooth.
I not think Tara can any where compete with Reva on its 99999/- brand. Yes, its possible with the 5lac brand. Reason is Battery can needs high performance battery which are supplied by Trojen US. Its costs approx 67000/- for a pack of 8. Other Reva features also adds up with ABS, ABD, Tubeless Tyres, Dent proof Body, Side crash resistant, and above all 40 paise per KM which inc the (cost of battery on Amortisation basis for 3 yrs). To match these feature one has to compromise on feature to drive at a price. Today unfortunately Reva is not popular because its not properly being promoted in India properly. But they are selling well in UK, and other european countries. Secondly Govt's Sick attitude towards global warming and above all we Indian mind set to have a Big Car.
TATA group has all the required access to technology and innovation to have captured the market share with a battery powered small car unfortunately, for them, they don't see business sense in envirnoment friendly vehicles. the big companies of India are exploiting the masses these days in all possible ways and milking the consumerist attitude of the country all the more so. the public too is being fooled and is happy being fooled by these corporates. the public is losing its voice in a lot of ways and that's what these companies want. Else companies like Tata/Reliance could have done much better in developing better technology and be less exploiting and should have more political influence to turn things towards eco-green ways. Tara or whatever this battery powered is, should actually become a success...

Dude I think you missed a crucial news in last week, Tata is working with a french Engg company ona car that works on compressed air. Isnt that ENv friendly. And dont be undr impression that Electric Cars are not polluting. Dont forget ill effects of the batteries and the pollution that will be caused to generate electricity for them. TATA has always thought of People and Environement. True Electric car dont make a busniess sense, But no one in Corporate world is surviving there of Philanthrophy. TATA is doing a good job by introducing the car. Be confident it will also launch a more environment friendly car soon
