Tata Nano - The Mini Van is Now On The Road

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 14:48:00 +0000

Tata Nano Has Been Launched , from Long long awaited time , but still people have to wait for couple of months to travel on it. I am mentioning some specifications about Nano, On the behalf of Ashok Karania.

1. Tata Motor’s Nano launch is an important day for Indian Enterprise and Indian Auto Makers. It is a day no less important than Diwali, Eid and Christmas for visionaries. It is a day of celebration of Indian spirit, fulfilling a dream and changing the dynamics of Auto market. Cheers to Ratan Tata and his team.

2. The real surprise is that instead of celebrating, we are maligning Ratan Tata and Tata Nano. Never before in the history of Indian passenger cars, such a coordinated and high-pitch attack seen on a particular company. Anti-globalization, anti-industralization, environmentalists and media-savvy NGOs have been cooperating with politicians - a rare first. People did not criticize when Suzuki or Hyundai or Skoda.

3. Tata Nano has been criticized for pollution, clogging of roads, consumerism etc. But where was this criticism when all other car launches have been happening since years. Why target Tata alone?

Tata Nano is compliant will all the regulations of the land. Its safety levels are higher. It is Euro 4 compliant. And let us be aware that Autos, Taxis and other vehicles running on adulterated fuel pollute the environment more.

If Government of India has not cared for promotion of public transport, for development of roads-infrastructure through-out India, will blaming Tata solve the problem? Ratan Tata runs Tata Motors not Government of India.

4. Government of India today talks of Inclusive Growth. Will Tata Nano not fulfill dreams of millions of people in small towns and villages across the nation? Will Tata Nano not create multiplier effect in various parts of the nation? Will it no link towns and villages where public transport is not available or inconsistent?

5. Enam Securities’ Vallabh Bhansali recently said that Indians are succeeding all over the world, not India. And world is acknowledging achievements of India, not Indians. With each passing day, I am admire Vallabh Bhansali’s wise observation and see how true it is. I also recollect Indian Crab theory. Tata’s will succeed all over the world as they are planning to expand their empire outside India. They have Jaguar and Rover now. We Indians will lose in form of jobs and multiplier industries - which will be the real loss. And that too when we have got Manmohan Singh and Chidambaram on our national scene.

6. How are competitors reacting? Maruti is acting like a loser and a passive player today. Hyundai is approaching wait and watch policy. Volvo MD and other foreign MDs have stated this as an important step of emerging countries and India.

7. Finally, Mr R K Pachauri. We celebrated your win. We think today was another day for our Indian victory. I hope your opinion will change.

Maruti, Renault's New Models Boost

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 07:16:00 +0000

July 10 (Bloomberg) -- India's passenger car sales rose in June at the fastest pace in four months as Maruti Udyog Ltd.'s new SX4 sedan model and Renault SA's Logan attracted more buyers.
Car sales rose 16 percent to 94,002 vehicles last month from a year earlier, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers said in a statement in New Delhi today. Sales in the three months ended June 30 rose 13 percent to 275,147 cars.
India's carmakers are introducing new models and offering discounts on older variants to entice buyers as banks set interest rates at eight-year highs. Auto sales have gained in eight of the past 10 years as economic expansion enables more people to afford an automobile in the country.
``New models are pushing car sales,'' S. Ramnath, an analyst at Mumbai-based SSKI Securities Pvt. said in a phone interview today.
Maruti introduced the SX4 car on May 7, its first new sedan in eight years to lure drivers from smaller hatchbacks. The Indian unit of Suzuki Motor Corp. has a two-week waiting list for the model.
The company, which controls half of Asia's fourth-biggest automotive market, has introduced five new or upgraded models in the past 12 months to win customers. Maruti's car sales gained 27 percent to 47,783 units last month.
Indian sales of General Motors Corp., which introduced its first minicar in the country in April, more than doubled to 3,229 units. Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., which introduced Renault's Logan in April, sold 2,380 sedans, the statement said.
Demand is growing even as interest rates rise. More than half of the vehicles sold in India are bought on credit.
Banks have increased lending rates by between 200 basis points and 250 basis points since December. State Bank, India's biggest commercial bank, said on April 7 it will charge its best borrowers 12.75 percent, the highest rate since April 1999.
This has led Maruti and the local unit of Toyota Motor Corp. to offer discounts and subsidize interest rates to lure buyers.
``The market is still positive, it's growing,'' Arvind Saxena, vice president of sales at the local unit of Hyundai Motor Co. said on July 5.
Hyundai, India's second-biggest carmaker, will introduce a diesel variant of its Getz hatchback this year to attract customers. The company's sales fell 4 percent to 16,314 in June. Sales of Tata Motors Ltd., the third-ranked carmaker, fell 7.1 percent to 14,081, according to the statement.
