I think Honda and Ford took the luxury segment of Indian car market, since their sales increased 68% & 13% respectively in first half of 2013 ~ 2014.

Tata Motors kept its Chairmans promise of bringing a car to graduate from two wheelers at a reasonable cost. I feel a great Job has been done, but it is time to move on, give the youth of this nation not just a cheap car but make more sexy and fun. Though the sales pitch seemed to have moved in this direction, the products have not. When Mahindra can experiment by bringing so many models, why can’t TATA with its great research centre. I am sure that they can once they set their mind to it.
