Big cars are more a status-symbol to exhibit richness in society by users rather than their actual need and government should encash such craze. Big cars defined either on basis of engine-capacity or according to ex-factory price.
IT REFERS to news-item regarding Indian car-bazaar geared up to be flooded with cars in price-tag of rupees one crore and above. Big cars are more a status-symbol to exhibit richness in society by users rather than their actual need and government should encash such craze. Big cars defined either on basis of engine-capacity or according to ex-factory price should be taxed at 100-per cent excise duty to discourage their production and use.
This will not only curb fuel-consumption but also will make car-manufacturers to concentrate and compete for manufacture of small cars. However, for benefit of car-users, government should induce standardisation of common accessories like tyres and batteries so that same parts may be used in small-car segments produced by various car-manufacturers to bring down accessory-cost due to their production in extra large numbers in single size and specification as far as possible.
