Picky picky picky. That could happen to anybody. Hey, even Ford Pintos got a little toasty now and then.

What about the garland of marigolds, visible emerging from the front? Is that the engine compartment?
Hey, never mind, it's a rear engine vehicle.....not ready for prime time.

If that situation was somehow combined with sudden acceleration you would have something really frightening.

GM Issues Recall for 5,000 Heavy Duty Vans Over Engine Fire Risk
And from the originally posted article:
"The Nano is a wonderful product, but these incidents really tarnish the image of the car as well as the company," Rathore said. "This is the time for Tata to have a deep look at quality."
He said the recent addition of Carl-Peter Forster, former head of General Motors in Europe, as group chief executive is a step in the right direction.
"They've got a guy running the show now who knows how the industry should work," he said. "How soon will the effects be seen across the Tata product range? Well, that will take time."
