Should India encourage manufacturing of small low cost cars like Nano before roads, fuel quality are improved?

Its not the matter of building infrastructure before or putting in some inputs for that matters but small cars shall not be promoted at all instead better and efficient public transport system shall be made available which seems to be more effective, environmentally favourable as well as decongeting the roads which have already been plundered.

Hi

My personal openion is for manufacturing low cost car for every person of India and for whole world, because this is the time to marketing and export Indian make product.

Yes provided if the product suits customer taste.

YES - would be the word, given the current economic trends. SME concepts are the biggest source of revenue generation - but this also should be taken up with technology innovations. More of "Green Concept" should be adopted like battery operated cars [Reva, Indica EV, Spark Electric] or Hybrid technology which is at a very nascent stage in india. The government should lend its support in terms of giving tax discounts to promote a greener environment other wise it is not a sustainable business concept.

firstly the increase in number of cars/motor bikes has occured because of the easily available finance from banks and not for any other reason. Secondly no one should have the right to deprive the middle/lower middle class from the comforts of there own car/motorbike. 

Along with the government should improve upon the public transport as if a good option were available most common public would prefer there routine commutes via public transport only and use the private car for family outings etc which happen on weekends and/or non peak traffic hours and so do not neccesssarily become a burden on the infrastructure.

Of course keeping the fuel availabilitty and pollution in mind, the car companies should innovate more and come up with environment friendly and more fuel efficient models and also explore more vehementally alternate fuels and hybrids.

May see things a shade differently on this particular issue dear. Lets welcome the advent of low cost small cars and especially our very own TATA's taking the initiative to begin with; technology/cost factors, cutting down certain elements of traffic and of course targetting a certain fragment of society. Its no secret that the infrastructure in this country is worth harping about, however lets give the Government some time to work on their proposed/planned infrastructure plans for the moment.

I would like to say yes because in India if it happens then these cars can replace the motor bikes.Also if you want any work to be completed like roads infrastructure then this might be the best idea.Because if we wait for roads to improve then not only us but also the next two generation would not be able to see the Small low cost cars.So this can be good idea if we want to improve our roads first implement this idea.If we need anything then only we do something.

I agree with people who answer yes here. Forgot about good roads and space till you actually have people with cars. Even otherwise, cars were invented much before we got to see roads for them. Small low cost cars like Nano itself will address such issues if they have to to remain in market. What it means otherwise is that only rich can have cars till we have roads and fuel quality. People/Companies have to do it themselves when Govt. fails to look into the matter. 

All these days in our country, unlike the other countries like UK,Japan,USA where all the infrastrutures will be planned according to the increasing market needs. Infrastures have been developed only when there was a deadly need of improvement or only when there was no other option but to improve..... So as far i see,its better to introduce the things into the market and force the people incharge to deal with the improvement activities.

ITs  difficult  to take side as both things are equally important .We do need small cars like nano and at the same time  de-congestion on roads needs to happen .Better roads , flyovers , infrastructure etc... also needs to improve .Now th ebig question is will it be ofr the better to pressurize govts for infrastructure ,presurize smart traffic signaling mechanisms etc... by flooding our roads with small cars , or is it that we need to clean up the mess first , keep the infrastructure in place and then go for such cars ??   a very interesting debate :)

personally , i would like to go with the first option, 

Small cars like Tata Nano are quite capable to compete with other cars in the Indian market.Nano is specially built to run on Indian roads and mileage is pretty good as well ( more than 20kmpl ). It's a good initiative to launch this kind of cars in India as other foriegn companies are experimenting day by day to launch more small and low cost cars.

Although the road qualities and better mileage are of prime concern.

Off course it works even what ever may be the fuel cost because small cars like  Nano and others have showing the mileage more then the other cars. So india will encourage it.
