Tata clears the deck for the waiting Nano customers

The world’s cheapest car Nano [images] will be handed over to the buyers on the spot, once the pending bookings are cleared by Tata. The company had to resort to the lot system for 1 lakh bookings, since there had been production constraint at that time. As the Sanand plant, with 2.5 lakh annual units capacity, in Gujarat is set to roll down more cars from this August, the situation might ease the delivery of the car at once payment is made. The dealer from New Delhi made a surprise remark that the base model is available for any time delivery while the mid and top end versions will be delayed for delivery, may be 15-20 days. These instant deliveries are made through management quota without prejudice to the pending bookings. The early bookings are now being cleared at the launch price. Tata had to undergo a tough phase in manufacturing Nano, due to the exit from West Bengal’s Singur which made Pantnagar facility to feed only limited number of productions. With bookings started in April 2009, Tata has so far delivered 35000 units to the bookings. Of the 1.55 lakh aspirants for this cheapest car, only 1 lakh lucky winners were assured of Rs1 lakh price.
