Wonders Of Tata Nano

Nano cars made by Tata Motors have been described by company Director, Jamshed J. Irani as having huge potential.

Even as analysts claim that the Nano could rock the international auto industry and put millions of new Indian drivers on the road, Irani told the Washington Post in an interview that Tata had no plans to go abroad with the Nano.

Tata is producing only about 100 units a day at present, it hopes to ramp up to about 1,000 vehicles a day next year. He said that at present the Nano was being distributed by the lottery system.

The company took a lot of deposits, but because of the long waiting list, those who want their money back could get it because even in March 2011, we are not sure if everybody will get the car.

Irani stopped by The Washington Post last week to talk about the 2,200 dollar basic model, billed as the world's cheapest car. He expressed confidence about the car not contributing to gas emissions. The low consumption level of fuel causes less pollution.

Irani stressed on the fact that that foreign car manufacturers were still years away from making a car similar to the Nano.
