The journey of Nano from Ratan Tata’s dreams to the road was no cakewalk. First the engineering
challenges which it has to face to launch the car at affordable price tag of 1 lakh INR and then the
major issue faced by it in West Bengal, where Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamul Congress spearheaded an
agitation against the land given for the cars factory at Singur.
But after lots of “if “and “but”,”ups” and “downs”, finally the Dream Car has been launched today at
Mumbai.
Nano, the 4-seater, 623cc rear engine car has estimated to have limited production in its first year, (approx
50,000 to 60,000 units). But when the production in Sanand , Gujarat will start most probably next year
then 2.5 lakh cars will be rolling out annually.
Tata Motors also plans to take the car global as it recently unveiled the Nano Europa in Geneva, which is a
slightly more robust version of the Indian model, and would be on sale in Europe in 2011.
They are also planning to launch the diesel variant by the middle of the next year.
Wishing all the best to Nano and a wonderful journey ahead..!!
