Bikash-da,
How can you be so sure that the car will be technically sound and people will buy it. If I remember correctly the Tata Indica car and other SUV models made lots of noise and had some minor problems ---only the Tata 407 truck series was able to beat DCM Toyota, Mazda, Nissan and other companies totally.
Ofcourse Indica is built tough - and if it hits the other car is totalled. So Tata seems to provide more stability and safety to passengers
See Businessweek article http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_02/b4066033073739.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index_businessweek+exclusives
My other car is TATA - for a family of parents and four kids going by scooter. If population is a problem then blame the humans -why blame the vehicles?
Good that you like motorbikes better than cars. I never bought a car for the reason that it is difficult to drive in crowded streets. Even Honda City or Hyundai Santro just go at 10 miles per hour in city traffic whereas an enterprising youth (like myself) can go at even 40 miles (60 km) per hour -- 50-80 miles per hour only on highways.
Cars in India or more like bullock carts - in city traffic whereas a motorbike is like a horse.

Thanks lot for your lovely post.I to love the people with Bullet although I dnt own one.I am attached to Bajaj Scooter only.The sound of bullet give another feeling for the bike as wel the owner...In India its major user is the Military still.
On TATA- somewhat I personally feel, they are going mad to ruin India only. Now see we dnt have bigger space for more roads, already all places crowded and green vegetations are only being destroyed in the name of widening of Rad,but Shopping mall etc are only finaly stands up.TATA wanted to come up with Rs.One Lakh car....which wil replace 2 wheelers son and everywhere India will have car only( by default we Indians are more crazy- to show to public we do own varieties of vehicles for each member in the family).Is TATA is goind to bid tata bye bye Indian space..!!!
Thanks for the post.

Can TATA learn anything about a buying global brand like Jaguar cars from Bullet experience?
