The battle has begun.

I just read today morning headlines in TOI that Maruti plans car to challenge Nano. It is just a beginning of the great battle of 2008. Just see below the listing of the response to the new (Nano)Technology of TATA - a tip of a iceberge.

• Bajaj has announced a small car with Renault's support.
• Hyundai stated its intention to come out with a car that could cost less than Rs 2 lakh and hit the road by 2011.
• Maruti-Suzuki too is ready with a hot recipe for a dish of a small car.

This list is not going to stop here anyway. I am just worried to imagine what will happen when all these cars starts running on the road.

Can one imagine that we will have the better support from the infrastructure point of view by 2011? The most sad thing is that, out of all these new announcements, no one is really interested to build a car that is eco-friendly (and not economical). Hello.........is anyone out there trying to design a Solar car?

As of now it just looks like that each of these companies are just trying to show their muscle, nothing else.
