    The idea of Nano–The People’s Car was inspired by the middle class Indians who bought and transported their entire families on scooters. To most middle class families in India owing a car is a far cry. Rattan Tata, Tata Motor’s Chairman said that the tiny car is aimed at keeping the families of India’s growing middle class from having to travel with as many as four people on a scooter. It led him to wonder if a safe, all weather form of transport for a family can be conceived at an affordable price. It took Tata motors four years to realize this concept which today is a People’s Car, which is affordable and yet built to meet safety requirements and emissions. The advent of Nano has seen an increase of about 65 percent of Indian families who can now afford to purchase a car.…

    People’s car, as what they have introduced the new Tata “Nano” car in the country of India. The average annual income in India is around 445,520 INR (8,000 USD), according to 2012 salary survey (Averagesalarysurvey, 2013). Considering the facts mentioned above, there is a need for an inexpensive car in the country. The population was patronizing the motorcycles and scooters, as it doesn’t cost them much. The vehicles were normally used by India’s average class family and used it for travel with four passengers seated on the motorcycles. This led the founder to built a car that promotes safety when travelling compared to the motorcycles and affordability in price that most of the population can afford. So when “TaTa announced that they would build a ‘people’s car’ that would be fuel-efficient and low on emissions and would cost just ‘one lakh of rupees” (Auto India, 2009), the population of India was in…

    The Tata Nano is a proposed city car — a small, affordable, rear-engined, four-passenger car aimed primarily at the Indian market. It was first presented by India's Tata Motors at the 9th annual Auto Expo on January 10, 2008, at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, India. It is priced at Rs 100,000 (appx. US $ 2200).…

    When Ratan Tata, chairman of Tata Motors, announced his dream of selling a car at one lakh (100,000 rupees or approximately US$2,500), many scoffed. Leaders in the automobile industry around the world questioned the logic of such a proposition. Tata’s car is expected to change the face of the automobile industry, both in India and around the world. It is the first time a two-cyclinder gasoline engine is used in a car with a single balancer shaft. Many are concerned that a car so cheap may not be safe. The company has assured consumers that the car has passed all safety tests, including a full-frontal crash test. The Nano is half the price of current low-priced cars—China’s Chevy and India’s Maruti 800. The Maruti engine is considered old while the Nano’s twin-cyclinder engine is seen as considerably more advanced. Although the car is fuel efficient, environmentalists are concerned that increased numbers of cars made more available to consumers will only result in more pollution.…

    Though capable of single-handedly making four-wheeled transportation ubiquitous in India, the project as a whole failed miserable, the main reasons being: 1) Inappropriate Branding - TATA-NANO was advertised to be the logical upgrade for a family of four with a two wheeler giving the average consumer an impression that owning a Nano would some how be a confirmation of their poverty. 2) Quality -The cost limitation of 1 lakh resulted in compromises like low quality paint job, no air bags, undersized and noisy engine, small boot and fuel tank. Three Nanos catching fire confirmed the low quality provided. 3) Promotion – Use of non-conventional marketing using social-media, unplanned advertising campaign, absence of a strong well-knit dealer network coupled with delayed roll out after the initial launch in 2009 fizzed out the excitement of the target audience.…

    On March 23, the day Tata Motors launched the Nano -- its long-awaited small car priced at US$2,000 the company's web site crashed. It had received more than 40 million hits in a short span of time and was unable to cope with the traffic. Visitors had come to the site to learn more about what is probably the world's most economical car and to join the queue to buy it. A crash is not good news for any automobile company, but this one -- a barometer of the heightened interest in the Nano among Indian consumers -- evidently was. After several months of problems, including violent protests which caused Tata to leave its original manufacturing site in Singur, the Nano was finally ready to roll. For Tata Motors, which has been facing difficulties on several fronts, there was reason to celebrate. "We had no idea [the Nano] would attract so much attention," company chairman Ratan Tata told a meeting of journalists just before the formal launch.…

    This due-diligence report concludes our findings regarding the feasibility of implementing the Tata Nano, the world’s cheapest car, for expansion into the U.S. market. Taking into consideration the general environmental analysis, we have concluded that increasing oil prices and a stagnant economy have coupled to increase opportunities of market demand for vehicles that are; inexpensive, fuel-efficient and compact with very basic features. The Buy American Act and other U.S. Governmental policies and regulations are such that; emissions and safety standards represent a threat to the viability of manufacturing the Tata Nano in the U.S. without major re-engineering processes in order to make them compliant. These improvements and higher U.S. labour costs could potentially increase the price tag of the Nano to $8,000 USD. According to Michael Porter’s Industry Analysis, the Automotive Industry in the U.S. is fairly attractive due to the low threat of new entrants, low suppliers power and the low threat of substitutes. In turn this industry may be fertile for Tata to expand their operations.…
