Mega response to Nano car

We are also planning to make a small car but we won8217;t have the same customers as the Tata Rs 1 lakh car. However, the response to a similar product will help us make our car.

Sylvain Bilaine, managing director, Renault India

As for the two-wheeler industry, it does not pose a threat. The requirements of a two-wheeler and a car buyer are different and the purchase price is not the only determinant. The Indian two-wheeler industry is large and also has a big non-owner population to tap.

Pawan Kant Munjal, managing director, Hero Honda Motors

As an Indian, I feel proud that an Indian company has launched a product that the world is looking at. As a competitor, I think its something we will have to fight with as our three wheeler8217;s price overlaps with Tata8217;s car.

Pawan Goenka, president, automotive sector, M038;M

I think the Tata8217;s car will address the motorcycle segment and I don8217;t see it having an impact on our sales.

Karl Slym, president and managing director, General Motors India

We don8217;t compete in this segment but it is a historic step and the two-wheeler buyers will upgrade themselves.

Rajesh Jejurikar, managing director, Mahindra Renault

The Tata car puts to rest all scepticism on safety and emission norms that were being talked about. Tata has proved that a low cost car can be made.

Rajiv Bajaj, managing director, Bajaj Auto

Tata Motors8217; impressive Nano will have a beneficial effect on India8217;s automotive industry. Auto world will want to collaborate with India to stay competitive across the world.

Arun Firodia, chairman, Kinetic Motors

It is a proud moment for India. It demonstrates India8217;s technological and entrepreneurial ability. It fulfills the need of the common Indian who aspires to move from a two-wheeler to a four-wheeler.

Kamal Nath, Commerce Minister
