I dont most of you know about a car called "nano" rightly named so, because its a very small car .So what is so innovative about this car?? Well the car itself, no company in the world has ever managed to build a car for less than Rs.1,00,000 approx US$2500, no one has even tried doing it!! Because they feared that they will lose the battle before it has started.

RATAN TATA CEO OF TATA MOTORS AND TATA NANO
So these are the features of the car
TATA Nano features
624cc petrol engine
33BHP
20km per litre mileage, upto 26km per litre on highway
30 liter petrol tank
4 door, 5-seater
Rear engine, front boot
4 speed manual gear box
On road price expected to be around Rs. 1 lakh 25 thousand
front disc brakes and drums in the rear
Euro 4 compliant
Top speed 90kmph
you might think what is so speacial but making a car for 2500 is special. Big companies like ford and suzuki are now catching with the low cost innovation and production skills used by tata for producing such remarkable results. Nano will be available from this october for sales.It is a car for the people, it provides millions of indian families an affordable safe travelling option. I rate this innovative product from TATA the best for the decade for its immense potential in directly improving the standard of living for millions of middleclass indians. Nano will also be available in sout east asian and african countries where this car is eagerly awaited.
This also shows another important aspect that innovation can be cost effective and the poor can afford it
here a PDF that puts india the centre stage of low cost innovations and will also help you understand what nano really means

How does the car rate on safety standards?
Looks like a very exciting innovation. On one hand it should help the environment because of it's small engine and fuel efficiency. On the other hand it could be detrimental to the environment if it results in a much higher percentage of the world's population owning and driving cars.
I'd like one myself, it would certainly help reduce costs now that we have rapidly increasing fuel costs.
You can view lots of images of the Tato Nano on Google (http://images.google.ie/images?hl=en&q=tata+nano&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2).

I think that small cars are now getting very popular today and Tata is also entering this market. I've read in a newspaper article before that the Nano would be the world's cheapest car. In that article, it also mentioned that thousands of protesters who are comprised of mostly farmers, surrounded the plant. They're alleging that the land for the factory site has been forcibly taken by the government from local farmers without any compensation.

Yes!! that is a big controversy about a SEZ which was allocated for this project in a place called singur!! Of all the states which are doing exceptional in SEZs tata choose the worst state possible that is a communist state,there are three communist run states in India which has very strict labout laws and socialist view on economy but when they decided to give imperialism which what TATA thrives on a helping hasnd people started agitating against it!! In a democratic country with 1 billion people things like this happens,but it should have happened with tata, I respect them very much as one pratices ethical business policies. Tata is planning to rebuilt its entire plant in maharastra its neighbouring state

I've just read the history of the controversy from that link you've provided Fergal. I didn't know that it could be that bad and there was even multiple rape and murder of a teenager named Tapasi Malik and suicide of one local farmer. I really don't know what to believe because the police say otherwise.
Anyway, building the world's cheapest car is quite an innovative idea. If only it's not surrounded with so much controversy.

That's something that always worries me when it comes to small cars. If you're unfortunate enough to be in a crash, it's reassuring to have as much car as possible between your body and the point of impact.

Even small cars should follow and pass international safety standards before being sold in the international market. Small cars should also be easier to maneuver than a bigger one so this might be a plus in preventing road accidents. But then again, the better maneuverability might also make the drivers more reckless in swerving and changing lanes.

Look in the first post everyone I had mentioned its Euro standard!! So it must have passed the test!! else they wouldn't have given the ratings!!,
Second the maximum speed of this car is not going to match a ferrari so no need to have an carbon fibre mono chrome or an automatic traction control
third this is designed for developing nations not rich countries, people who are rich have the other options

I want to bring another point of view for all those who are just thinking on the Positive aspects of Nano & ignoring the social & economic aspects.
The cash starved Wet Bengal govt. has given rs. 200 crore loan to TATA Motors at 1% interest. Another thing is that the 1st installment is to be paid in 21st yr of the project. By the time installment is due TATA's could have earned close to Rs.2000 crore ny investing it in Fixed deposit.
Now decide what effect could have on WB people due to this deal.
scifi
Mon 10th Nov 2008, 11:56
To many of you who still insist Nano project is favourable & Tata's are out of singur due to political Ageda here is another fact-
Nano project was getting power at Rs. 3 per KwH while the current rate in West Bengal is Rs.4.15. if rates go up by .25paise/kwH in five yrs, govt. will refund tata motors.
For every Nano sold in Bengal , the state will de facto refund the VaT & sales tax collected on each sale of NANO.
Now tell me it is beneficial for whom.
TATA's OR West Bengal people?????
Nazreen
Mon 10th Nov 2008, 14:11
I haven't read any new news about TATA or the Nano recently and I believe the last one I read was about another TATA factory closing. Not sure if this factory was in West Bengal or not.
I think that the discount in rates in electricity for TATA's factory would have been a deal made between them and the local government in West Bengal. This is to sweeten the deal so TATA will setup shop there.
Isn't TATA generating jobs for the West Bengal people? I think that they should at least do this so as to give something back to the people there. Otherwise, people might once again stage rallies against TATA in that locality.

Hopefully it is a win-win situation that is beneficial to the people of West Bengal and to TATA. If it's not beneficial to TATA, they will close the factory, resulting in a loss of jobs.
It is not unusual for governments to give financial incentives to companies creating jobs, in particular regions. The company employees, earn money to spend in the local area, which has a positive impact on the local economy.
Do you think that this is a bad thing Scifi?

As I have mentioned earlier that West Bengal is the most cash starved state.
The group which had given Rs.35000 crore for "Corus deal" needs a financial help of Rs200 crore??????
What is the need of giving Rs.200 crore at 1% interest the installment of which can be due back after 21 years.???
You have to just do nothing, deposit money in fixed deposit, after 21 years give back your whol;e money taken from the govt. & still the net profit of around 1600crores. Generating profit from people money without any investment. Moreover they are also exempted from tax & Vat both.......
These things are more than financial incentives , it's something like intimation of capitalism of straining people's hard earned money.

Tax & Vat are not directly exempted, these tax will be returned by the Govt. to TATA's on every single Nano that was being sold out!!!

The Nano - the world's cheapest car, has finally arrived.
"If I had conceived a million-dollar supercar today, I think you'd have every reason to question whether that's the right product at the right time in the planet that we are living in today," Tata says. The Nano, he argues, is the right car for this difficult time. "What has happened in the changing economic situation globally reinforces, if nothing else, the fact that a low-cost car has a place."
I'd have to agree with the statement made by Tata above that the Nano couldn not have come at a better time. With the automobile industry currently on a slump because of the recession, do you also think the same way as me that the Nano will become a success?

Although It will cost near about Rs.1,29,000 on road but the price will be valid for only first 100,000 units of Nano & then it will go into reconsideration....
However good point is that currently you can get your self a NANO by booking it in Rs.2999 or near about $62 & the rest of the amount can be financed through the National banks..!!!:)

I think it is the best deal, Bank which is giving finance is nationalized & there are financing options till 7 years with interest ranging between 11-12.5%...price of the car is 1,29,000 or $2580 for only 1st 100,000 units & then it is the golden chance for people to own a car they can call theirs...!!!!:)

Isn't 11-12.5% interest for 7 years too big? If you apply for car loans here in SG, the interest per annum is only about 6-8%. I don't know about the banks in India but I was under the impression that it should almost be the same. Maybe you should check around if other banks there are offering better financing options Scifi.

You shouldn't underestimate the expense of interest costs. @12% a $100 loan costs you $12 every single year, and that's interest only, it doesn't include paying back the actual loan.

Yeah $12 expense is not quite a lot when you can go for up gradation from two vehicle segment to four wheeler..It only costs you $1/month extra & you have your own car ..A car which is more secure than two wheeler...Moreover Finance is provided by a nationalized bank..Car is also from TATA- a company of repute....So it is a complete package with quality & value for money both..:)

I saw the car myself, it was on a test drive on the highway, it sounds exactly like bike and not like car.
I was surprised how spacious the car was, it was literally as big as indigo. Looks like a normal car, but the car is value for money. It wll never clear the european safety norms or fuel norms but that doesnt make this car inferior for what it has to offer for 1 lakh rupees is amazing. You cant compare a 8 lakh car with 1 lakh...

India has made it priority since last few years to develop infrastructure to the max. possible, & also had achieve it to some extent..Some more big projects are in line such as golden quadrilateral highway projects etc..Here is a glimpse of some statistics ..
Construction is the second largest economic activity in India. Investment in construction accounts for nearly 11% of India’s GDP & nearly 50% of its Gross Fixed Capital Formation. In the 11th Indian Five Year Plan for the period 2007-2012, the proposed construction budget is about Rs. 140,000 crores ($370 billion).

I think that the Tata Nano given more value on its car at a the very low price tag. It has a very low fuel consumption and is very affordable. I think this is one way of boosting competition among car manufacturers. I hope that this would encourage a lot of car manufacturers to be more innovative with their products and provide products which would cater to both the rich and the needy.

...Cars here are always considered a luxury item by the government and taxed accordingly.
Likewise in Ireland, cars are much more expensive here than in most European countries. The EU is actually bringing a legal challenge against the amount of tax the Irish Government charges on cars. If the the EU action is successful we should see much cheaper cars here.

Hi simplyjo
You may not be impress by the Tata Nano just because of its looks only but what I think that this is car is the cheapest car in the Indian market so the first thing matter is price then any other thing matter. Now Tata Nano Hybrid will be launched soon which will be having more impressive features with more fuel efficient so I think all this things are enough to over look the "looks" of Nano.

I am not sure what the big deal about the Nano really is -- the car is a good idea but the reality of building a small car and further cut features / functions from there is quite bad. The NANO is lacking many of the necessary capabilities that make a car be useful and safe. There are certain limitations and tradeoffs that need to be made in the design and manufacture of any product, but the NANO pushed the tradeoffs too much in favor of low-cost/cheap that resulted in a vehicle which I think is marginal in value (considering all aspects of a car -- safety, performance, pleasure, utility). I have summarized some further ideas in this blog post (http://worldwide-business-consulting.com/2011/12/time-to-take-a-look-at-the-tata-nano-why-cheap-does-not-mean-effective/):

Hi deepak_sharma
These low cost cars had fulfilled the dreams of many middle class people who had not even imagine to have four wheeler in their entire life but Tata had fulfilled their dream. Now coming to traffic point these small cars need small space as compare to other cars and can be easily parked one more thing if these cars need to take the U turn they just move in one try but the big cars have to try for 2 -3 time then they are able to take U turn.
One pollution point Tata Nano is launching its hybrid version in 2012 it will be electric car. So I think pollution problem will also be solve. I had seen many new cars (http://www.cardekho.com) which were from the small hatch back section that they care getting very good feed back and demand.

I am from India where NANO is launched. Personally, I am not a big fan of Nano. I don't like compact cars and being a female, I go for looks and NANO is quite sad looking. However, at this price, it makes owing a car affordable for all - But do we really need more traffic jams on Indian roads ? JEEZ !!!
Hey simplyjo
Are you trying to say that this small car Nano is responsible for traffic jam I think small car are easy to drive , park and can be easily take u-trun without jamming the road and I think New Tata Nano has very good color collection and features are also improved and soon Tata will launched its Tata Nano 2012 (http://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Tata/Tata_Nano) which will be hybrid car and soon Tata will launch its Nano in diesel, what else you expect if you are getting a diesel or hybrid car in just low price tag.

Yes, it is world's smallest car i think, the main problem with the model is of engine, it is not performing as claimed by the tata.

See stevenricherd its not world's smallest car there are many other small cars available in the world and new Tata Nano 2012 has more improved engine so need to disappoint one more thing I would like to say that every thing depend on cost so if you are getting the cheapest car then you can compromise in some points. Good news is that Tata is coming with its new concept car which is Tata Pixel (http://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Tata/Tata_Pixel).

Tata Motors has showcased the new Nano powered by CNG at the Delhi Auto Show 2012. Nano CNG once launched will offer customers a more economical and fuel efficient car which should appeal to a large audience specially considering fuel prices in the country.

Small cars should also be easier to maneuver than a bigger one so this might be a plus in preventing road accidents.
It's a great car.
