Tata Motors has announced the launch of the made-in-India Tata Hexa is Nepal. The crossover has been launched at a price of NPR 77.95 lakh (around Rs. 48.75 lakh). The hefty price tag is obviously due to the currency exchange and Nepal's local taxation on fully imported vehicles. The retail operations of the Hexa commenced in the neighbouring country in the presence of Tata Motors, CEO and MD, Guenter Butschek, who handed over keys to first batch of 11 customers. The Hexa was introduced in India earlier this year and is the automaker's new flagship offering.
