CASE STUDY ON TATA NANO
TATA MOTORS HAS UNVEILED THE WORLD'S CHEAPEST MOTOR NANO CAR
The case discusses the making of Tata Nano, the world's cheapest car, manufactured by India based Tata Motors. On March 30, 2009, Tata Nano was launched with an ex-factory price tag of INR 100,000 (about US$ 2000). The case explains the design and development process of TataNano. The car was the result of a five year research and development project carried out by Tata Nano development team. While developing the car, Tata Motors and its suppliers constantly made efforts to reduce the costs while ensuring quality of each and every component including engine, steering, wheels, tires, windshield washing system, gear shifter etc.
