At that price, they should be sold in pairs.

A couple of points: 1.
First, how many Indians will be able to afford this car, even at its price, when international trade is down and India's economy is dropping? Actually, India's growth is more driven by internal consumption, so the global slowdown will not affect it so much -- also it's rural incomes are actually increasing
2. This is not India's first car that it's developed from scratch -- it's made the following as well

They have been working on creating subassemblies for other manufacturers (door handles, that kind of thing), so the creation of a complete car is a great leap forward. Had missed this earlier. India has put the largest satellite constellation into space, in all of Asia, not to mention the lunar probe searching for He-3 fuel on the moon, just three months ago.
It's not the car itself that is special; rather, the way they managed to make the car, what it costs. That was the hardest part. 2000 dollars is too low for what the car actually is.

Oh... I see. I'm sorry. When I saw "Tatas" and "India" in the same headline, I just assumed this was about Padma...
Um, sorry. Nevermind.
