Tata Launches ‘Nano’

January 10th, 2008

As I was focusing on some work of the day, my colleague came running towards me and announced the launch of the much hyped Tata Motor’s 1 lakh car aptly named ‘Nano’. I was waiting for the event for a long time to come. It was being shown Live on TV from 11:30am onwards but by the time I reached, the ceremony had got over and the journalists and photographers had started crowding around the small car (I could only see the rooftop). After few minutes, I got the first glimpse of the white ‘Nano’ which was driven by Mr. Ratan Tata himself (coincidentally in gujarati ‘Nanu’ means small although pronounced differently). Just yesterday some channels were busy speculating the name of the small care - Atom, Jeh, etc.

Post the car launch there are discussions on the effect on the environment and the stress that it will put on India’s infrastructure, etc. On one hand I am happy that the Tata’s have launched a product which specific to a particular segment of the society. On the other, I shudder to think about when the car would flood the roads of Mumbai and the high possibility of a traffic snafu that it will generate. For this moment though, I am waiting to see the car run on the road pretty soon.

    Congratulation ! Mr. Tatan Tata,

    I was surprised to hear the new invention of the cheapest car in the world by the TATA company. It gives me immense pleasure to share to my friends and if I were in Delhi, I would defenately go nad join in the Car celebration.

    As every middle class and poor people speaks, I m happy to be one of the first customer to buy this Nano in Bhutan. I think my dreams come true and may the happiness shine on Tata Company to flourish their vast sale in the world.

    thanks

    though tata has launched car having verylowprice as compared to other cars but it will cause to increase in pollution and it consumes more petrol as it is taking place of two-wheeler.
