Every nations maintains different missiles with different ranges. Even after a canisterized A5 is deployed with .. let's say a max range of 5000km .... A1, A2, A3 will not be phased out, but perhaps replaced by canisterized versions of these missiles. We need missiles with ranges of 300km, 700km, 15...

Crowding in the new DMRC lines is due to the progressive opening of lines, due to which the system is somewhat unbalanced, resulting in congestion in places. Once the entire ~200km Phase 2 network is open in mid 2010, things should run more smoothly. DMRC also significantly underestimated the popul...

So, Nissan Micra will be produced in THAILAND for export all over Asia, while Micra made in India will be exported to MidEast, Africa, and Europe? BTW French unions will fight hard to prevent Renault Clio from being made in India and exported to Europe. Don't expect that to happen anytime soon. As f...

3. Don't build roads, build metro/train: Sure! Build rails to each home onlee!! !! Paris was designed in such a way that no location in the city proper is more than hafl km from a metrpo station. Paris has 215 km metro system, Delhi will have 190 km by Sept, more afterwards. Not metro to each home ...

Dileep, I understand and agree that BRTS is not appropriate everywhere.. u do need wide avenues to implement. Some say metros are too expensive, BRTS is cheaper ...but u know what? Sreedharan has proven that with DMRC< it can be done cheaply and fast. For cramped cities with few wide avenues, there ...

Russians are so much easier to work with on this nuke stuff. If the agreement ever gets broken, they will not ask for return of anything: reactors, uranium, or reprocessed material. They dont mind if we reprocess, I think they will even sell us reprocessing technology if we want. They're so much bet...

rachel

There is a question been bugging me but everytime i ask, no one answers.. probably cuz they think it's too stupid or basic. Very fundamentally: before the US-India nuke agreement, we had already bought Russian reactors and uranium for them. I'm confused. Why did we need the US-India agreement then? ...

Shashi Tharoor speaking in TEDIndia about Indian soft power .... Great speech http://www.ted.com/talks/shashi_tharoor.html Very bad speech. Very stupid reasoning IMHO.

Our pathetic loser Indian govt will not block this, but BART is 100 percent correct. GM will use REVA world-leading EV tech in their car, and now Chinese Panda gets that tech as well. I HATE GM, and I hate the loser Indian govt. They are destroying everything. CHINA will steal all our tech and gain ...

Yes, but they wont really be launching second either, it seems from the timeframe that they will launch either during the same timeframe or perhasps just a few months before the big guys do. I really was hoping that India would be number one in this field of electric cars. Want to know what my dream...

Recent news on the Indian EV front leads me to believe that an opportunity has been squandered, to some extent. What I am referring to is the dashing of earlier news that TATA e-Indica would be launched this year or early 2010. Latest news indicates a launch in the January 2011 timeframe. This creat...

Yes, as has been mentionned ... perhaps instead of a massive 1000-bed monster, five 200-bed hospitals right next to each other, all sharing some infrastructure, lowering costs thru joint bulk buying of equipment etc etc It's really sad for the US that malpractice lawyers would take the tiny failure ...

When Tata e-Indica, from its new UK factory, sells thousands of e-Indicas across Europe; If REVA from its new Syracuse factory cranks out thousands of e-cars and floods USA; And if Mahindra does something similar with pickups and SUVs in America, Then finally we can stop hearing all this garbage abo...

Dont blame him for returning from Aussie-land. They do not have much science or tech there, they seem to specialize on selling ore, drinking beer, and racial attacks.

Crocodile Dundee sports a swastika and a high-school diploma at best.

Nothing racist about that I said. Aussies are not very good at technology and science, am I racist for sayiog that? Name one Aussie invention or Nobel Prize winner.

It is not racist for saying the truth.

The picture does look great. One question: it seems that T3 (from the pic) is almost surrounded by either runways or other terminals. Seems there is not muchg space to put in road connections to the expressways. Look at the pic.. there is only a narrow corridor available to the right of T3. To the l...

Aussie development of the Figo? I thought INDIA was to be not just the production base but also the research and development hub of small cars.

Long ago, when Tanaji predicted dire straits for AlcaLu, I agreed and said that the Chinese 3G rollout would deliver a major blow to non-Chinese players, esp AlcaLu which anyway had the most to lose.

We import finished steel while the first and fifth largest steel makers in the world are Indian??<Mittal at number 1, Tata Steel at number 5> I guess most of Mittal's production is outside India, while with Tata buying Corus, a big part of Tata's is also outside. So by 'importing finished steel', is...

Raja, I look at other threads too, and I think because there are a lot of car enthusiasts here, this one is definitely more polluted with off-topic ramblings than others.

Whatever.. the mods dont seem to want to control it.

rachel

Oh yes Raja, the discussion of 'manliness' et al are highly relevant. especially when they go on and on ad nauseum.

rachel

Ok, you clowns can keep on hijacking the thread... remember the thread title INDIAN AUTOS?? ..... Here is some useful links. Tata has reassured electrc Indica is 'on track'.. altho truly on track would ve meant a September launch as opposed to end of year... It worries me .. the lack of details prov...

IMHO this thread is degenerating into too much that is unrelated to the subject. Start another thread entitled 'real men and their toys'.

rachel

Thanks. That seems quite expensive on a per-GB basis. At this rate, if a user downloads 20GB from another ISP's network, their home ISP will be paying peering charges comparable to the user's monthly subscription (Rs.1000). In total, the larger ISPs most likely are not affected by this since the ne...

The death of Chinese any-product thrills me.

Here are my ideal headlines for the next decade:

'The Death of all Chinese exports as world reels from accidents caused by low quality junk'

'The Death of PRC as Tibet and other restive areas separate, ending the Evil Empire'

Free Tibet, smash China.

While I am normally the biggest hawk, I am gonna take a highly unusual position on 'capping'. (unusual for me, i mean). IF we did go all out on buidling ICBMs, could it make us the 'jack of all trades, master of none'? Ie: if we spent x dollars, let's say that amount give us 100 missiles and warhead...

You know, it's gonna be mighty embarassing for other cities of India whose airports are gonna be like rat shacks compared to Delhi (even the new ones at Blr and Hyd .. they're puny).

Our own ISRO comm-sat announced recently (GSAT 11) will be over 4 tons. The latest EADS commsats with 50plus Ku and Ka xponders are about 5-6 tons, IIRC.

I was thus hoping a modified GSLV mk III or IV could put more than 6 tons into GTO as satellites seem to be getting heavier by the day. Which satellites are getting heavier by the day? The IRS satellites? Or the communication satellites? Or the global positioning systems? Or the satellites for moon...

rachel

While not denying that Indian Railways needs plenty of improvement, I will point out that China is known for hyperbole and exaggeration, and as a dictatorship and not a free country, there is no way to confirm their tall claims.

rachel

Isro to launch GSAT-11 with 40 transponders in 2012 This makes much more sense. ISRO has over the past many years continued to build satellites of roughly the same capacity (12-25 transponders, mostly C band with a few Ku) I think part of the reason for this is that they were waiting for GSLV lift ...

Routine except for the fact that GSAT-11 is reported as using the new I-4K satellite bus.
