1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 MARKETING STRATEGY:
Marketing strategy consists of the analysis, strategy development, and
implementation activities in, developing a vision about markets of the organization,
selecting market target strategies, settings objectives, managing the marketing program
marketing strategies designed to meet the value requirements of the customers in each
market target.
Dream-dream and dream, because dream gives vision, vision gives thoughts and
finally thoughts lead to the action. Each letter of these motivational words said byIndias former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam goes exactly with Mr. Ratan Tata,
Chairman of Tata group, who in the year 2003, dream of producing a safe, affordable Car
for the common man. Finally after the wait of five years, crossing all financial and
technological barriers, Ratan Tata unveiled Tata Nano at the 9 th Auto Expo 2008 in
New Delhi.
"Nano" means "small" in Gujarati the language of the founders of the Tata Group.
"Nano" from the SI prefix for one-billionth is derived from the Greek , meaning
dwarf, and is sometimes used to mean "small" in colloquial English.
Tata Nano is a rear-engine, four-passenger city car built by Tata Motors, aimed
primarily at the Indian market. The car has a fuel efficiency of around 26 kilometer per
litre (73 mpg-imp; 61 mpg-US) on the highway and around 22 kilometers per litre (62 mpg-
imp; 52 mpg-US) in the city. It debuted at the 9th annual Auto Expo on January 10, 2008, at
Pragati Maidan in New Delhi; India the Nano had its commercial launch on March 23,
2009 and a booking period from April 9 to April 25, generating more than 200,000bookings for the car. The cars started to be delivered to customers after July 17 2009,
with a starting price of Rs 100,000, which is approximately equal to US $2,160 as of
December 2009. This is cheaper than the Maruti 800, its main competitor and next
cheapest Indian car priced at Rs 184,641 ($3,988 U.S.).Tata had sought to produce the
1

2/69
least expensive production in the world aiming for a starting price of Rs 100,000
(approximately US$2,000 as of June 2009).
The introduction of the Nano received media attention due to its targeted low price. The
Financial Times reported:"If ever there were a symbol of Indias ambitions to become a
modern nation, it would surely be the Nano, the tiny car with the even tinier price-tag. A
triumph of homegrown engineering, the $2,200 (1,490, 1,186) Nano encapsulates the
dream of millions of Indians groping for a shot at urban prosperity." The car is expected
to boost the Indian economy, create entrepreneurial-opportunities across India as well as
expand the Indian car market by 65
The car was envisioned by Ratan Tata, Chairman of the Tata Group and Tata Motors,
who has described it as an eco-friendly "people's car". Nano has been greatly appreciated
by many sources and the media for its low-cost and eco-friendly initiatives which include
using compressed-air as fuel and an electric-version (E-Nano).Tata Group is expected to
mass-manufacture the Nano, particularly the electric-version, and, besides selling them in
India, to also export them worldwide.
Ratan Tata observed families riding on two-wheelers the father driving the scooter,
his young kid standing in front of him, his wife seated behind him holding a little baby. Itled him to wonder whether one could conceive of a safe, affordable, all weather form of
transport for such a family. The real thought behind the Nano car shows the real
entrepreneur Ratan Tata.
Ultimately the most awaited and most talked Rs. 1 lakh Car in shape of Tata Nano
cool & smart, launched by Tata Motors, having the tag of worlds cheapest Car, and the
dream of Peoples Car has come true. Nano launched by Tata Motors is going to change
the face of Indian automotive industry for the second time after the launch of Maruti 800
in the year 1983. Breaking the technology barrier Tata Nano will open new vistas in Car
segments in the automobile market.

The strategy behind the project was the awareness of the number of Indian
families who had two wheeled transport, but couldnt afford a four wheeled car. The
Nano car tagged Peoples car was designed at Italys institute of department in
Automotive Engineering and planned manufacture in Signur unit, West Bengal.
Tata Motor has spent Rs. 1500-1700 crore for this project including the proposed
plant in Singur in West Bengal.
The target customer of Nano car is middle class family. The Nano is alleged to
have severely affected the used car market in India, as many Indian opt to wait for the
Nanos release rather than buying a secondhand car of the Nanos nearest competitor, the
Maruti 800. Sales of new Maruti 800s have dropped 20 and 30 for used car in the
beginning of 2008.
The Nano also provides policymakers an opportunity to correct some
Manifest distortion:-
First and foremost, India needs an integrated energy policy. Continued
subsidization of fossil fuel consumption results in multiple distortions of the
Economy.
Second, the frameworks of the Urban Reforms Mission need restructuring. The
proposed allocations in the Eleventh Plan for the urban sector are grosslyinadequate if it is to cope with the predictable rapid pace of urbanization, extend
mass transport systems in non-metro cities.
Third, India needs an integrated transport policy. This goes beyond improved
planning and implementation of rural roads, upgrading district roads and state
highways.
It was the year 1908 when Ford Motors Model T was launched with a price tag
$ 19,700 having the engine of 20 Horsepower (hp) and then in coming years
Volkswagens Beetle (1956) and the British Motors Mini (1961) were launched
having price of $ 11. 333 and $ 11,777 respectively. These Car models bought the Car
within the reach of millions of customers. Now exactly after 100 years in 2008 Tata
Motors have launched Nano having the price tag of $ 2,500 with an engine of 33 hp,
3

making the cheapest Car ever made. So with the launch of Nano, Tata Motors has made
India proud in the world and also proved the technological mettle of India.
Peoples Car Tata Nano will be made on the whole new line of experiments.
According to the current production model the Car companies supply the completely built
Car units to their dealerships but Tata Motors, in spite of making the Nano car itself, will
take help from its dealers. Tata Motors will supply the Car kits to their dealers who will
assemble these kits into the complete Car at their own established plants. This is one very
good strategy of low price of Tata Nano.
1.2 Stylish & Comfort
The design concept and interiors of the Peoples car was laid out considering a
typical Indian family in mind, which has a roomy passenger compartment with generous
leg space and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Four doors with high
seating position make ingress and egress easy. When launched, the car will be available
in both standard and deluxe versions. Both versions will offer a wide range of body
colors and other accessories so that the car can be customized to an individuals
preferences.
1.3 Fuel-Efficiency & Engine
The peoples Car has a rear-wheel drive, all-aluminums, two-cylinder, 623 cc, 33
PS, multi point fuel injection petrol engine. This is the first time that a two-cylinder
gasoline engine is being used in a car with single balancer shaft. The lean design strategy
has helped minimize weight, which helps maximize performance per unit of energy
consumed and delivers high fuel efficiency. Performance is controlled by a specially
designed electronic engine managements system.
1.4 Safety Norms
The Peoples cars safety performance exceeds all current regulatory requirements
meeting EURO IV standards. With an all sheet-metal body, it has a strong passenger
4
-

5/69
compartment, with safety features such as crumple zones, intrusion-resistant doors, seat
belts, strong seats and anchorages, with rear tailgate glass bonded to the body. Tubeless
tyres will further enhance safety.
1.5 Environment - Friendly
The Peoples Cars tailpipe emission performance exceeds regulatory
requirements. In terms of overall pollutants, it has a lower pollution level than two-
wheelers being manufactured in India today. The high fuel efficiency also ensures that
the car has low carbon dioxide emissions, thereby providing the twin benefits of an
affordable transportation solution with a low carbon footprint.
1.6 Final Words:
In the end, considering all things in perspective, Tata Nano will definitely set up a
trend of the sort and debut a manufacturing era of low cost and eco friendly automobiles.
No doubt, it is too early in the day to comment about its safety standards and
environmental consequences, the car will stand up to comment about its safety standards
and environmental consequences, the car will stand up to the Tata repute of providing
mobility with safety and an efficient mean of transport to match the requirements of a
small middle class Indian family whose aspirations have been growing at a never before
seen pace to posses mobility, enhanced status and rise in self-esteem. With only about
250,000-350,000 Nano cars to roll out of Tata sTable each year, doubting Thomas
(traffic woes & congestion) will however be assured of the fact that this figure will only
act as a drop in the ocean on ever increasing vehicles population. As for the
environmental concerns, Tatas have assured of the vehicle adhering to EURO IV norms
which is fair enough for a car maker to bring in latest vehicle in the markets. For price,
Indian middle class (even those considering buying a motorbike) will be swayed enough
to purchase a Nano powering for even higher aspirations. As regards road safety and
decongestion, it is Indian Governments prerogative to deal such issues even as Mr. Tata
at a recent Nano launch press conference agreed to fund Car driving schools that may
teach masses to drive in safety and under sanity.

1.7 Indian Car Industry
The motor car originated in Europe in the latter half of the 19th century. The first
car was driven on British soil in 1894. It had been improved from the French car
company called P & L (Panhard & Lavassor), which was a leading car company at that
time. P & L had commenced production in the early 1890s, after licensing gasoline
engine technology from Gottlieb Daimler, the original inventor.
The Automobile era begins in India in 1898 when the Bombay Cycle and Motor
Agency imported four cars for display. India imported a large number of vehicles, mainly
motor cars, during World War I There seems to have been no attempt made by any Indian
Organization to either manufacturer or assembles automobiles for a fairly long time.
The Indian Automobile Industry can be considered to have got off the ground
when Ghanshyam Das Birla promoted Hindustan Motors Ltd (HML) in 1942 at port
Okha in Gujarat as a small assembly plant for passenger car. The first car was named
Hindustan. Walchand Hirachand also started Premier Automobiles Ltd., in 1942. The
company rubbed shoulder with HML for kick off the automobiles revolution in India by
assembling in 1946 in association with Chrysler from the US. The year 1949 is
considered a landmark year in the history of the automobile Industry in India as the firstpartially manufactured car introduced of HMLs factory during that year.
During the 1950s, the policy environment was relatively liberal. However, in
1959, Indias foreign exchange reserves nearly ran out and automobile imports came to
an end. The import licenses were asked to promise progressive import reduction before
they were allowed to import technology. But the structure of the Indian automobile
industry has altered dramatically since the 1960s an explicit policy emerged during the
latter half of the 1960s. In 1960s, commercial vehicle accounted for more than 50 of the
total four wheelers produced. Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company (TELCO) was
the pioneer in commercial vehicles in India. In 1954, it collaborated with Daimler Benz
AG of Germany for the manufacture of commercial vehicles. The relative dominance of
commercial vehicles production continued till 1985.
6
-
8/7/2019 VINAY MIAN PROJECT
7/69
In 1985, the production of car increases by around 60 over the previous year, and
from this point onward, the dominance of commercial production declined in relative
terms.
There was a time in India when the portly Ambassador was the countrys most wanted
and popular car. The Indian car buyer had to wait for months and at times even for years
before he could lay his hands on an Ambassador or a Fiat 1100.
It was Maruti 800, a product of the Japanese car giant Suzuki collaboration with the
Indian government. It became the small car which the Indian nuclear middle class family
could aspire for it. But now that too is history. India become one of the faster-growing car
markets with scores of models plying the city roads and highways, from the home ground
Tata and Maruti vehicles to Toyotas and Mercedes Benzs.
Indian has emerged as avid car enthusiasts impressing their possessions as status
symbols and speed machines. Foreign car companies has discovered the Indian
respondents as well as the R & D potential among the Indian technical group and are
setting up manufacturing plants across the country at lower cost.
The growing desire for car is also a sign that Indian roads are finally good enough
for international cars to ply on. There are many four and six-lane highways in India now
and the Golden Quadrilateral, which connects takes infrastructure development very
seriously.
According to Tatas surveys, millions of more Indian families will buy motor cars
within the next few years. The car market witnessed a 29 growth in 2004 followed by a
period in 2005 due to meteoric rise in fuel costs and more stringent anti-emission policies
implemented by the Indian government. Increased auto-loan interest rates from the banks
also added to the slowdown. But the demand has picked up once again. And now we have
Tata Nano, which can be picked up at an-all time low price of just 1 lakh.

The Indian automobile market is projected to grow by 7 a year, and the car
market, even faster. The economy is booming and the middle class is getting easy finance
schemes to upgrade to four-wheeler from two-wheeler.
Since the opening of the Indian economy, the automobile sector in India has been
playing a vital role in the adoption of advanced technology. Industrial majors in the
automobile sector, which started operation in India immediately after liberalization,
consolidated their position. Today, Indias car market is the 12 th largest in the world.
The Indian car market has come a long way since the launch of Maruti 800 in
December 1983. From stagnant sales of about 35000 cars a year between 1977 and 1982,
the market size increased to about 150,000 in 1991. The rapid pace of growth continued
thereafter, reaching a figure of 1,078408 cars during the financial year 2006-07, showing
an impressive compounded annual growth rate of 22 post-liberalization. It is further
expected to grow at 11 over the next decade, making it the third largest car market in
Asia and one of the top five car market in the world. Though this growth looks
impressive, it would still have a long way to go when compared to the numbers in Japan
and China.
The total numbers of cars on the Indian road is just around 8 million compared to
203 million in the US, around 62 million in Japan and 19, million in China. At present,
there are only 7 cars for every 100 persons in India. This is very low when compared to
other emerging and developed markets.
1.8 Potential effect on Indian economy
Tata Nanos launch could expand the Indian car market by 65, according to
rating agency CRISIL. The low price makes the car affordable for families
with incomes of Rs 1 lakh [100,000] per annum, the agency said. The increase
in the market is expected to push up car sales by 20 over the previous year.

The unveiling of Tata Nano, the cheapest car in the world, triggers an
important event in the car market. Based on the statement by company
officials, CRISIL Research estimates the respondents price of the car at
around Rs 1.3 lakh. This brings down the cost of ownership of an entry levelcar in India by 30, the company said in a report.
All these suggest that there is tremendous untapped potential for motor car in India.
The future growth in passenger car market will be driven by higher GDP growth,
improved road infrastructure, improved urban infrastructure and increased with
disposable income.

carry out the dissertation. The basic purpose of the literature review is to gain insight on
the theoretical background of the research problem. It helps the researcher to gain strong
theoretical basis of the problem under study and also helps to explore whether anyone to
find out the path of problem solving.
The essential contents of this survey are summarized below:-
The survey analysis suggests that the potential buyers of cars are households with an
annual income of Rs 2 lakh and above that do not own a car.
The analysis considers all households that can afford a small car and do not currently
own a single car. According to the survey, which had a sample size of nearly a million
households, over 12.88 million households out of the 19 million households with annual
income above Rs2 lakh currently do not own a car (either new or second hand).
The survey shows nearly 55 percent of the 1.6 million demand is expected from rural
India and smaller towns, with the near-term demand from the six super metros estimated
at 0.25 million. Within this, as many as 0.8 million non car households, who were

3.2 History
Tata Motors is a part of the Tata and Sons Group, founded by Jamshetji Tata. The
company was established in 1945 as a locomotive manufacturing unit and later expanded.
Its operations to commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with
Daimler-Benz AG of Germany.
1960-1986
Tata Motors started its commercial vehicle operations in 1960 with the manufacturing of
first commercial vehicle collaboration with Mercedes-Benz (a copy of a Daimler Benz
model) in Pune. Considering the road infrastructure of the country which does not
support heavy vehicles the company adopted a route for light commercial vehicles
(LCV). It came out with its first LCV, Tata 407, in 1986.
1987-1996
Post liberalization, in order to expand rapidly, the company adopted the route to joining
ventures. In 1993 it signed with Cummins Engine Co., Inc., for the manufacture of high
horsepower and emission friendly diesel engines. It was an effort made to reduce the
15

pollution in the existing Tata engines and to produce more environmentally friendly
engines.
1997-2006
In 2000, it launched compressed natural gas (CNG) buses and also filled the produce line
gap through the introduction of the 1109 vehicle which is an intermediate commercial
vehicle and is useful for medium tonnage loads. Post 2000, the company introduced a
variety of new models. It introduced the Ex series vehicles with high tonnage capacity
and high pick up and also came out with the entirely new LCV (207 DI) with direct
ignition technology to cater the customers requiring one and same vehicle for
commercial as well as personal use.
Tata Indica
After years of dominating the commercial vehicle market in India, Tata Motors entered
the passenger vehicle by launching hatch-back car, the Tata Indica. Indica was the first
car indigenously designed in India. Though the car was initially panned by auto-analysts,
the cars excellent fuel economy, powerful engine and aggressive marketing strategy
made it one of the best selling cars in the history of the Indian automobile industry. A
newer version of the car, named Indica V2, was a major improvement over the previous
version and quickly became a mass-favorite. A re-badged version of the car, known as
City Rover, was sold in the United Kingdom. Tata Motors also successfully exported
large quantities of the car to South Africa. The success of Indica in many ways marked
the rise of Tata Motors.
Daewoo acquisition
Tata Novus is one of the best selling commercial trucks in South Korea. With the success
of Tata Indica, Tata Motors aimed to increase its presence world-wide. In 2004, it
acquired the Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company of South Korea.

Compressed air car
Tata Motors and Motor Development International of Luxembourg have jointly
developed the worlds first commercially- viable prototype of a compressed air car,
named one CAT.
It has air tanks that can be filled in 4 hours by plugging the car into a standard
electrical plug. MDI plans to also design a gas station compressor, which would fill the
tanks in 3 minutes. There are no gasoline costs and no fossil fuel emissions.
One CAT is a five seat vehicle with a 200- liter (7.1cuft) trunk. With full tanks it will
run at 100km/h (62mph) for 90 kilometers (56mi) range in urban cycle. It is actually a
dual fuel car but it is more efficient than any present Hybrid cars.
Tata Nano
Tata Nano developed a car, named Tata Nano tat aims to sell in 2008. it is the least
expensive production car in the world: the price is about Rs 100 000 (USD$ 2,500). The
company unveiled the supermini car during the Auto Expo 2008 exhibition in Pragati
Maidam, New Delhi. Tata Nano is considered to the cheapest production car in the world.
Bajaj Auto and Mahindra- Renault have plans to launch cars in this price range.
Tata has faced controversy over developing the Nano. Some environmentalists are
concerned that the launch of such a low-price car could lead to mass motorization in
India with adverse effects on pollution and global warming. And there was strong
opposition to the compulsory acquisition of land for the proposed car factory in Singur.
Jaguar Cars and Land Rover
As of March 26th 2008, Tata Motors reached agreement with Ford to purchase their
Jaguar Land Rover operations for two million dollars. The sale s expected to be

Called the peoples car in Tatas promotional material, it was projected to the least
expensive production car in the world. The standard version of the Nano is projected to
sell for Rs. 100, 000 (approximately US $2500, GBP 1277, or 1700), not including fees
or delivery.
Newsweek identifies the Nano as a part of a new breed of 21 st century cars that
embodies a contrarian philosophy of smaller, lighter and cheaper and portends a new
era in inexpensive personal transportation and potentially, global gridlock. The Wall
Street Journal confirms a global trend toward small cars, led by the Nano.

The prefix Nano (e.g., nanometer) derives from the Greek root nanos meaning dwarf.
Nano also means small in Gujarati, the native language of the Tata family, founders
of the Tata Group.
3.4 History and Conception
The project to create a lakh (1 lakh = 100000 rupees) car began in 2003, under the
Chairman of Tata Motors, Ratan Tata. The strategy behind the project was the awareness
of the number of Indian families who had two wheeled transport, but couldnt afford a
four wheel car, and was based on the companys success in producing the low cost 4
wheeled Ace truck in May 2005.
Industry convention was that a reliable car couldnt be made at such a low
price, so initial media speculation was that the car would be a simple four-wheeled auto
rickshaw. However, The Times of India reported that the vehicle is a properly designed
and built car. The Chairman is reported to have said, it is not a car with plastic curtains
or no roofits a real car.
During development the company reinvented and minimized the manufacturing
process, brought in innovative product design, and asked component manufacturers to
look at current work and design approaches in a different perspective to produce logicaland simple solutions.
The car was designed at Italys Institute of Development in Automotive
Engineering, with Ratan Tata ordering certain changes during the process, such as
reducing the number of windscreen wipers from two to one.
3.5 The interior of the Nano
The Nano has 21 more interior spaces and an 8 smaller exterior, when compared
with its closest rival, the Maruti 800. The car will come in different versions, including
23

24/69
one standard and two deluxe variants. The deluxe version will have air conditioning, but
no power steering. The car is expected to be produced in the Singur plant in West Bengal,
which is under construction. The initial production target set by Tata Motors is 250,000
like Mumbai; Ratan Tata has conceived a scheme to only offer the Nano to those
individuals who do not have an automobile already. The Nano will also replace many
overloaded and worn-out two-stroke polluting vehicles, both two and three-wheeled.
Used Car Market Effects
The Nano is alleged to have severely affected the used car market in India, as
many Indians opt to wait for the Nanos release rather than buying a secondhand car of
the Nanos nearest competitors, the Maruti 800 (a rebadged Suzuki Alto). Sales of new
800s have dropped 20, and 30 for used models. As one automotive journalist surmises:
people are asking themselves and us why they should pay, say, 250,000 rupees for a
Maruti Alto, when they can wait and get a brand new Nano for less in a few months
time, a car that is actually bigger.

5.1 Findings
Nano is promising to be the worlds cheapest car and this would be the big
factor for potential buyers to go for Nano Car.

The survey also shows that most of the respondents like Rs1lakh Tata Nano
car 76 while the other 24, dont like it.
The survey also shows that majority of the respondents 65 like to buy Tata
Nano & 35 dont like to buy.
It is also observed that 60 of the respondents like Nano which is standard
without A/C & 40 like deluxe with A/C.
The survey shows that 50 of the respondents go for Nano car .because of good
mileage.
Survey shows that most of respondents 65 buy Nano car instead of second
hand car
Survey shows that most of respondents are of opinion thatTata is common
brand and Nano Car is for common people, therefore respondents have agreed
that Nano will succeed in the long run due to Tatas brand name.
Survey shows that 70 of respondents are satisfied with distribution network &
30 not satisfied with distribution network of Tata Nano
The surveys shows that 15 strongly agree & 55 agree with marketing strategy
to succeed in long run & 15 dont have any idea, 10 disagree & 5 disagree
A very good reason to buy Tatas Nano is the mileage, the best competitor of
Nano in India is Maruti800 and its mileage is 15kmpl only whereas Nano
promising mileage is 21kmpl.
Even though many two-wheeler owners have the opinion of good mileage
about Nano Car compared to two-wheelers like Bajaj Avenger, Discover,
Royal Enfield model which all have the mileage below 40kmpl.

Most of respondents are giving highest preference to the factor in the car
which is it accommodates more persons at less Cost, after which comes
Comfort.
Respondents who are able to afford the second hand car may also be able to
afford Nano car and along with affordability many benefits like less
Maintenance cost, good mileage, less running cost is connected to Nano Car
so 65 of the respondents are willing to buy Nano car instead of second hand
car .
Two Nanos car can be effortlessly parked in a typical Scorpio or three Nano
car easily fit into the space occupied by two Ambassadors, so in Metros,
where parking is a huge problem Nano could be the solution.

5.2 Suggestions
Tata must maintain the promising price and quality of Nano Car, so that the
objective of Nano as a common people car will come true and it is the only
marketing strategy that TATA Nano has.
Peoples car, Tata Nano can be made on the new line of aspects like Tata
Motors could think of supplying the car kits to their dealers who will assemble
these kits into the complete car at their own established plants. This is a very
good strategy of low price of Tata Nano but it might hamper the delivery time
of Nano to respondents because of assembling at the end, so Tata will have to
focus on Delivery time specifically.
Service centers should be there in small town also so that customers can get
service facility without any delay and inconvenience.
61
-
8/7/2019 VINAY MIAN PROJECT
62/69
Nano has a very high demand (1.6 million in 2008) compared to planned
supply (250,000-350,000unit per year), therefore Tata Nano should increase
the production estimation to meet the customer demand to satisfy almost all
potential buyers.
Tata must focus on Research & Development to reduce the maintenance cost
and quality improvement which will help them to stick to their existing
reasonable price.
There should be easy availability of replacement part of Nano car for the
remote customer at minimal cost
A sound & good distribution channel strategy can be planned so that everyone
can be made aware of the Car and its highlighting features.
5.3 Conclusion
A true entrepreneur Ratan Tata is finally able to keep his promise and deliver a car
for Rs 1 lakh the Nano with the help of team of Tatas engine who initially had no
blueprint of Nano. They started with a dream and turned it into reality.
Tata nano currently didnt have any marketing strategy, even though it has achieved lot
of sale but 5 years down the lane it may require good marketing strategies. Presently
TATA Nano has targeted only lower middle class segment but in future if it had to
achieve sales and target higher class it requires marketing strategies such as good ad

commercial, and doing auto expos in various places. If TATA Nano had to enter foreign
market it definitely requires marketing strategies as I mentioned above
Tata fulfilled the dream of millions of people who never thought to buy four wheeler
but now it is possible because of its easy affordability for targeted middle class family. In
reality Nano has greater value of money with many benefits like fuel-efficient, good
mileage, safety, easy parking; accommodate more persons at less cost compare to two-
wheelers.
Tata has also moved one step forward in reducing global warming and becoming about
environment by launching eco-friendly car- Nano.
Nano has created a benchmark in small car segment and encourage the development of
Auto industry with creative innovation. Many competitors already started to develop a
low cost small car, one of them is Bajaj auto who planned to deliver Rs.1.3 lakhs with a
