Have you seen what the majority who are even able to buy a car in India buy? I wouldn’t want to travel high speed in them, and suspect they aren’t even capable of high speeds. This is effectively for the wealthy who drive imported cars that are large by their standards.
...and suspect they aren’t even capable of high speeds.
The newest Tata Nano has a claimed top speed of 105 km/hr from the 624cc two cylinder motor putting out 38 hp at 5500 rpm.
Here’s Jay Leno “road” testing a 2012 Nano (It’s not street legal in the US, so he isn’t actually driving on public roads.)

Seems to me that a high speed rail system would make more sense. Maybe one will be built along side the expressway.
