The company’s aim was to design a smallcar that would be significantly cheaper to make and buy than any other model, and thus to satisfy India’s mass marketdemand for low – cost transportation. The result was the Nano, with a sales price of 100, 000 rupees (US$2,500), whichwas half the price of its closest competitor in India. Tata Motors achieved this by designing everything from scratch, deletingfeatures that were taken for granted by other auto makers (for example air conditioning, power brakes, radios), usinglightweight steel and an aluminium engine, and building in fuel efficiency.The car’s other important feature was its modular design, enabling the Nano to be distributed across the country in kit formand assembled by local businesses.

She noted, however, that cable theft was a significant challenge, not only for Transnet, but also for Eskom, Telkom and municipalities. In addition, Derby noted that Transnet recently started working with the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa to deal with the issue of cable theft. Meanwhile, Derby noted that, in South Africa, using rail for cargo transportation has fallen to about 3% of total cargo movements in the country. “I imagine that the same disastrous situation has also arisen in [the rest of the] SADC [region],” She pointed out, however, that rail gauge was not a big concern,…arrow_forwardK and Q Beverages Ltd started off twenty years ago as a small dealer making non alcoholic beverages in Nairobi from just two products at the time, the firm has expanded in its product portfolio and now boasts of six products in various stages of the product life cycle, and a considerable share of the market share.
