India is the home to one of the world's smallest and cheapest consumer cars: the Tata Nano. But now one mechanic has built an even more compact car at his workshop in southern India. He was inspired by the lack of road space and the ever-increasing cost of living.

The owner of this Bangalore mechanical workshop has built an affordable compact car.

The lack of parking space and the increasing cost of living were the main inspiration for Narsimha Raju, who built the two-seater car for those on a low budget.

[Narsimha Raju, Compact Car Builder]:
"As you know in our society, we don't get proper space to park our cars or even moving on road, there is no space. Because of this congested life everybody, I thought why should I not do a compact car, which is suitable to everyday, cost wise and space wise. And that was the inspiration."

Raju's affordable car is on the same budget as a two-wheeler but with added protection.

[Narsimha Raju, Compact Car Builder]:
"The car is mainly suitable to an ordinary person who can afford a two wheeler."

Once officially approved, his car will be on sale for around 1,700 U.S dollars.

The helmet shaped car has upward opening doors, weighs around 150 kilograms and has a four-stroke petrol engine of 175 cc.

It can cover 35 kilometres per litre with the highest speed of 80 kilometers.

@matelotgeek, The brain is in head, not in feet. At least he is thinking what best he can do for the society within his capabilites and budget. If you can appreciate his noble thought, keep quiet. Dont pick on irrelevant things.

He saw a problem, he created something to help solve it.

Stop complaining and do better - if you can.

They'd never have an affordable car here, and if they did insurance would cost more than the car because THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO DRIVE. PERIOD.
