PROUD INDIAN

I am proud to be an Indian for so many things in the past. Today I have that feeling again for one more reason thanks to our own RATAN TATA. The world watched INDIA and HIM today IN AWE as he drove and got out of his dream car, the People's car of India - THE TATA NANO costing just 2500$ or 1 lakh rupees. Remember the project was enviseiged 4 years back and the price of 1 lakh was fixed then.Inspite of so much of increase in costs of various components, he kept & met his promise at least at the Calcutta Showroom level.After transportation and taxes it may cost 1.30lakhs and a a.c version may cost 1.40-1.50lakhs. Still it a lakh cheaper than a Maruti 800 and nearly half of the cheapest car in the world coming from China.It is a 625CC engine and was unveiled in the Delhi Auto Show yesterday the 10th January 2008. The car will start plying in the Indian roads later in the year and will surely be a big hit with the growing aspirations of Indian Middle Class.In the ensuing ceremony Ratan Tata said he used to leave his factory somedays at 2am and again return at 7am next day morning.Such was the committment and determination and no wonder he is were he is today.KUDOS TO RATAN TATA AND TATA MOTORS AND BE PART OF THIS GREAT MOMENT TO BE A PROUD INDIAN
