History TV18 to air 'India On Four Wheels' on 20 Sept

MUMBAI: History TV18 will telecast a show titled ?India on Four Wheels? at 9 pm on 20 September. The show will also be aired on CNBC TV18 on 22 September at 9:30 pm.

?India on Four Wheels? is a discovery of a country on the move by two journalists Justin Rowlatt and Anita Rani, who embark on an "epic" road trip across the length and breadth of India. During their voyage crisscrossing cities and rural India, they both encounter and discover the effects of the booming car industry leading them to realise how a country?s economic augmentation is fanning the growth of the car industry.

Rowlatt and Rani start their journey from New Delhi and navigate in two opposite directions, with an aim to meet after three weeks. Rani starts her trip in a new Indian made Mahindra 4x4 jeep, while Rowlatt leaves towards the East in Hindustan Motor?s Ambassador.

Halfway through her journey, Rani reaches Mumbai. She discovers some of the "fastest" and "most dangerous" roads in the country.

Rowlatt, on the other hand, steers his Ambassador on some of the bumpy roads of the country, meets farmers who gets their first taste of motoring and witnesses the effects of burning fossil fuel on precious ecosystems. During his travel, he probes into the darker side of India?s economic revolution, the retrofit of industrialisation on environment and how the majority of people are still cut off from India?s financial prosperity, the channel said.
