Car with Indian components

A car, completely Indian, for Rs. 6,000 — taxes of course, excluded. Is it just a restless young man’s dream or the flash of a genius? None would know, not even Mr. Sanjay Gandhi, the 21-year-old son of the Prime Minister, unless and until he gets going with his project. He has not even given his car a name yet. “Many, of course, have called me a crackpot,” the slim young man with a downish beard told me with a smile when I called on him this morning [November 13, New Delhi] at the Prime Minister’s residence. Mr. Sanjay’s proposal to make the car with completely indigenous material is now with the Union Ministry of Industrial Development along with the 14 other proposals for scrutiny.

The shy young man apparently needed a good deal of persuasion to place his proposals before the Ministry. He did it only in the middle of August this year — the Ministry had by that time its shelves full with the proposals from the other parties.
