No competition with the Nano
Ganguly says that neither he nor his cars have any intention of taking on Tata's Nano. "Nano is a 1-lakh car. In its case, it is the cost that is the centre of attention. But the cars that I have conceptualised are green cars. Therefore, the question of comparing it with Nano doesn't arise at all. The only note of similarity between the two happens to be the price, while the Nano is a 100,000-car, my Tara small cars are priced approximately at Rs 99,000," he adds.
Ganguly is extremely optimistic about the future of this car as he feels, "In this age of global warming and increased pollution, our future lies in green cars. I am extremely confident that these cars will be runaway hits in the international market."
