Tata Motors, India’s largest automobile company, unveiled the world’s cheapest car today - according to a press release on the company’s website. This brand new two-cylinder vehicle is priced at INR (Indian Rupee) 100,000 equivalent to $2549 US dollars.
Honestly, when I heard about this concept more than an year ago, I thought the project will sort of fizzle out eventually because of cost inflation and gross underestimation of technological challenges. Now, I stand corrected.
By the way, on a side note, Tata Motors is also in talks with Ford to buy Jaguar and Land Rover businesses.
If you think oil prices are high now, wait till this $2549 car becomes popular. It should be noted that “popular” has a totally different meaning when we are talking about a country with 1 billion people. But it could have been worse …. we are fortunate that China isn’t making any $1000 cars …. yet.

I do believe that India is one of the most technical dominant country in the world, thereore, no suprise to find such a car that considers fuel consumption and environmental situation. I myself thinking seriously to negotiate abroad execlusive dealership.
