We need to expect some increase in price due to - stricter emissions test requirements, stricter crash test requirements, higher transportation costs, and higher local costs/wages for sales/marketing (and maybe CKD/SKD assembly?). But a near-doubling in price takes the Nano out of its own market segment and into the bottom of the segment occupied by the cheaper Dacias, the Kia Picanto, etc. @RickWilliams – Yes, I suspect that Tata might be missing a trick here.

I am not sure that the Nano will have as much impact in Europe as it does in India and the rest of the third world.
