Honda launches hybrid card in India

Recently, Honda Motors Launched first hybrid car in India. This was good news for the environmentalist but does it make any practical sense?

Currently it cost over Rs 20 lakhs. In India, someone who is going to buy car with such a price tag is bothered about petrol price. it is status symbol for him. So I do not think it make any sense to launch this car and be happy about environment.

Some people may argue that it is so expensive because of the taxes by the government. even if the tax is brought down to 20% from current 100%, cost will not go below 12 lakhs and this is also not the range of middle class, petrol price sensitive, people. it is just an publicity stunt by the company, I think.
