GRITTING TO ALL, Today I am going to introduce India's lowest budget car, yes I am talking about TATA NANO, so today I will clarify why tata nano fails in Indian market now I will put some fact regarding nano.
History
After having successfully launched the low-cost Tata Ace truck in 2005, Tata Motors began development of an affordable car that would appeal to the many Indians who ride motorcycles.The purchase price of this no-frills auto was brought down by dispensing with most nonessential features, reducing the amount of steel used in its construction, and relying on low-cost Indian labour
Price
Announced as the most affordable production car in the world, Tata aimed for a price of one lakh rupees, or ₹100,000, which was approximately $2,000 US at the time.] only the very first customers were able to purchase the car at that price, however, and as of 2017, the price for the basic Nano starts around ₹ 215,000.[15]Increasing material costs may be to blame for this rapid rise in price.
Compared to the Volkswagen Beetle it has a relatively low price, however. In 1990, a Beetle from Mexican factories was priced at $5,300,[ about $9,716 in today's money. The Ford Model T's initial price was about $850, equivalent to $22,657 today.[The price of the Nano is only just higher than the corrected Price of the Briggs & Stratton Flyer with the Flyer costing US$125 ($1,767 in 2016), even though the Flyer would today hardly be considered a go-kart.
Comparison
Let have to look given Comparison between TATA NANO and MARUTI 800
Comparison with the Maruti 800, the Tata Nano's closest competitor:
| Tata Nano | Maruti ALTO 800 |
|---|---|
| * The Nano's trunk is only accessible from inside the car, as the rear hatch does not open,[ but it eventually received a full hatchback in 2015. | * Maruti 800 initially had only an opening rear-windscreen, but later got a full hatchback. |
| * One windscreen wiper instead of the usual pair | * Two windscreen wipers. |
| * No power steering initially, unnecessary due to its lightweight. Added in higher variants in later models. | * Power Steering only in higher variants. |
| * Three lug nuts on the wheels instead of the usual four | * Four lug nuts per wheel. |
| * Only one wing mirror on base models. Higher variants fitted with passenger side ORVM from 2012 onwards. | * Both side ORVMs in certain variants. |
