Last month, Anand Mahindra also shared a photo of an old advertisement of a Fiat 1100 that was set at a price of ₹9,750 (exclusive all taxes) back in the 1950s, to show how much the Indian rupee had inflated.

He shared the photo of the Fiat 1100 with the caption, "Good old days."

The entry of the car in India gradually led to Fiat earning a name for itself in the automobile industry, as per a report by Mint.
