Meanwhile just look at the price ALTO is available after the UNION BUDGET reduction on excise duties for small cars.

Production of the MARUTI 800 is surely about to be stopped.

@avi..

I dont think you get the point..You are not paying more money because of taxes..You are paying it because of loads of film stars and tie-clad Managers are middle-man creaming your money..Period.

The cars are designed and built in Other countries..and Indians who were earlier selling soaps and underwear are now selling cars..so their exhorbitant salaries are payed by you..Arabs are simple..If we dont make them lets be honest about it and let the customer decide...Simple !!

@avi

Could u be clear with ur replies???

@Indica..

I was trying to tell you that Cars are cheap in the middle east because there are no middle-men costs involved..There are no subsidiary offices..no brilliant Sales managers..Just Local Dealerships of all Car manufactures...

No money is lost in the middle east on film stars and expensive advertising..and expensive managers who just bullsh*t about performance and design (Hardly the stuff they have a clue about)..

So If Cars are sold in India the mideastern way..Local Design and build car companies will have advantage..they will do better..

and Customer will have advantage ..they will have access to cars from around the world..without sales managers..and film stars..poaching on the sale price of the car...

Every country has its own unique demograhic, economic, technological, political and social characteristics.

Every business has to face these characteristics if they want to operate in these markets.

Comparing THE MIDDLE EAST with INDIA is like comparing MARIA SHARAPOVA with MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI.

Jokes aside the nearest that the INDIAN market resembles is PAKISTAN.

The prices that Automobiles in INDIA has reached probably at it's lowest "FILMSTARS" or "NO-FILMSTARS".

And yes, managers are reqd. in every Business. Doing business in the second most populous country in the world has it's own challenges. The rewards of which are immense if it clicks.
