Tata aims to book 10 lakh Nano in first two weeks

Tata Motors launching the Nano small car this Monday.

This small car is much awaited and it is likely to see massive bookings in the first couple of weeks.

Tata Motors is aiming to book as many as 10 lakh units within the first two weeks.

This should get the company a collection of Rs 7,000 crore considering every booking would require at least Rs. 70,000.

However, people interested in getting their hands on a Nano would have to be extremely lucky.

The supply is going to be very less considering Nano would be shipped initially from the company’s Pantnagar plant in Uttarakhand, which has a capacity to produce only 3,000 cars per month.

Situation is only likely to improve next year when Tata would start manufacturing the Nano at their new plant currently being constructed in Sanand.

Happy moment"This is an extremely momentous and happy day for us because we have been through a rather sad experience from a small quarter of residents of West Bengal," said Tata. Tata Motors MD Ravi Kant and Industrial Secretary Gouri Kumar signed the MoU. Tata said, "The site will help us establish a new dedicated mother plant with the least possible increment project cost." Along with Tata Motors, about 60 vendors would also move to the new location. Tata said, "It is as good as or slightly better than the one we had previously." Gujarat was one of many states in the race for Nano car manufacturing facility. Chief Minister Narendra Modi said, "Tatas and Gujarat have started a new chapter of partnership, which will give a new direction to the state.

"There is no objection from farmers," said Bharatbhai Vaghela, a farmer of Kalana. The site will be an ideal place for the Tatas, as it is close to NH-8 connecting Rajkot and Ahmedabad.
