$2,200 car is already being tested
NEW DELHI: The common mans aspiration of graduating from a two-wheeler to a four-wheeler seems to be turning into a reality with Tata Motors on Thursday saying that it was about to deliver on its promise to produce the car which will cost Rs 1 lakh.The car is being tested, announced group chairman Ratan Tata in what can quell the lingering suspicion that the project was too ambitious to come true. Tata Motors has developed a car which we hope to launch in 2008. It is undergoing tooling at present... It is undergoing trials, Ratan Tata said. In New Delhi to attend the Indo-Italian CEO Forums Meet, he was unambiguous that the car would cost, as promised, less than Rs 1 lakh $2,200 or Rs 88,000 to be specific. Tata Motors had announced a few years ago that it intends to launch a car which would be priced at Rs 1 lakh. Though the claim was initially greeted with scepticism, the group worked on the project even though it kept the details of the car under wraps. Posted by: john 2007-02-16 |
