Tata Nanos Aren’t Cheap Enough as India Chooses Motorbikes:Cars

Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- India’s inflation is producing an unexpected beneficiary. Motorcycle makers are poised for record sales this year as the highest borrowing costs among Asia’s major economies push consumers to choose a cheaper ride.

It is an occasion of peace, happiness, joy, and festivity. During Fatimid times, Ismaili Imam-Caliphs used to address believers on the day of Eid in a  Khutba  (sermon).
