Well, regarding Maruti competing with Nano, here's a newsprint appearing on the front page of ToI (of today, Ahmedabad edition), which is very briefly paraphrased as under:
Maruti plans to counter Nano. It is likely to launch a small car as early as the end of this year or early 2009. It will sport a Suzuki 660 CC engine (against Nano's 623 CC) and will carry a price tag of Rs.1.5 lac on road (without insurance). It will be mothered by Suzuki at its headquarters at Hamamatsu (Japan) although it will be eventually manufactured in India.
