Tata defends $2,500 car

MUMBAI, India -- Tata Motors' ultracheap car will be the least polluting vehicle on Indian roads, the company's chairman said Monday, refuting criticism that the $2,500 car would add to traffic chaos and carbon emissions, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Ratan Tata said his company will bring what is being billed as "the people's car" to market next year and its price of about 100,000 rupees would be on target, despite a sharp rise in costs for steel and other raw materials since the project was announced three years ago.
