Passenger Cars: Challenges to NCR

In the recent years, Indian passenger car market has witnessed a tendency among the car manufacturers for shifting to small passenger cars. India is emerging as a huge potential for small cars. Launch of ‘Tata Nano’ and recent announcement by Bajaj Auto for ‘RE60’ are steps in the same direction. Small cars are less expensive, and therefore, are easily affordable. They may replace many two wheelers from road; as a result, problems of traffic, pollution, and parking may arise. This article is an attempt to study the probable consequences and possible solution for such problems, particularly in the NCR region.
