The Government of India began to encourage the manufacture of a small car only by the 1970s. Sanjay Gandhi, Prime Minister’s son and an automobile fanatic, carried out the audacious Maruti experiment during the 1970s. It was a giant dream, and ended up as a bigger failure.
His mother Indira Gandhi finally revived the dream.
For once, capable managers were hired, and the government or the bureaucracy did not interfere. This unusual arrangement was never repeated in any other Public Sector Unit (PSU) in India.

The final episode of the great Indian car dream recalls the initial tragedy and then every stage of the final triumph of Maruti.
Maruti would since change the history of the automobile sector in India forever.
