Kudos to Maruti, but when the city administration is expanding the roads for easy trafiic, but the automobile industry is encroaching it to fill the roads with their products. Construction for destruction.

Ur PC or cybercafe which you are using also contributes to Global Warming and e-waste, stop using it. Although I agree that populist car companies spend very little time thinking of minimizing pollution unless it is a state mandate
the only reason being it is running since many years - with 110 % government support. no big deal - once the goverment support is pulled - it will fall flat on its face !

Yes, it is an Indian Company as it is a listed company in INDIA. That means INDIAN Public holds stakes in the company.
However, the Management control has been transferred to the Parent entity, Suzuki (during Mr Vajpayee govt).

Truly speaking, INDIA does not have in-house technology for Automobile Engines (Leave Aero & Rocket Engines - there are different dramms). We have to scale up on Combustion, Testing and Proving, Emission Control Technologies.
However one improtant message is that the market leaders develop these technologies (Paper Wok) in INDIA and further test and prove in foreign countries.
We lag behind heavily on Testing and Validation (Infrastructure).

Indians donot invest in infrastructure and R&D, the two most basic things required to build something. Indian product like REVA is not bad. It is even going to USA where people are liking it too. India never looked at the hardware front, it has gathered strenght in software. China on the other part, just because they wanted to give job to their sea of population, concentrated towards manufacturing to generate more jobs, thereby they invested on R&D and infrastructure and thus reaping the benefit

REVA is not good at all. after every 6 months, u have to charge its battery which takes one month in waiting for proper service personnel and 25000 rupees.
