There have been discussions lately with regard to the future of Tata Nano, which was the brainchild of chairman emeritus Tata Sons, Ratan Tata.
The world is taking the 10 year challenge, posting pictures from a decade ago. While everyone is on a nostalgic trip revisiting memories from a decade ago, we too decided to revisit the cars that were popular in 2009. The auto industry was extremely different then with so many brands yet to make their way to India, while the the massive boom of diesel cars was yet to happen. It were simpler times, some would say. However, the Indian auto industry has not only progressed over the years but also brought a massive change in our safety standards, emission standards and general road safety culture, for the better. So, in our version of the #10YearChallenge, we take a look at the most popular cars of 2009 and how much they've changed in the past decade.
Ratan Tata was seen being driven in the Tata Nano Electric at the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, and netizens are hailing the legendary businessman for his simplicity.
Mechanic cum innovator, Guddu Sharma, a resident of Bagaha, Bihar, has converted his Tata Nano car into a non-flying helicopter. He wants to rent it out for weddings for Rs. 15,000.
Tata Motors has not produced a single unit of its most affordable car - the Nano - in the last three months. According to a report in PTI, Tata Motors has not sold a single unit of the Nano in March 2019. The company is yet to take a call on the future of the Nano, chances of it surviving the upcoming crash test norms are slim. The stringent safety norms will require the Nano to be redesigned from scratch which will not be possible without fresh investment.
Tata Motors said on Thursday that it could stop manufacturing and selling the Nano from April next year due to new safety and emissions rules that would require major investment.
Reports suggest that Tata Motors has stopped the production of the Nano hatchback as a result of poor sales and decline in demand for a cheap car.
Tata group's practice of funding without proper risk assessment, particularly in the case of Nano, resulted in liabilities worth thousands of crores of rupees.
Tata Motors is now working on alternative plans for its small car Nano whose sales have fallen making its production not a viable proposition.
Now usually, the sister ties the brother a rakhi on the wrist and in return gets a box of chocolates, some money or maybe a small gift. But what if you, as a brother, are feeling generous and wants to gift your sister a brand new car!
Here's the list of entry-level hatchback cars that come with company fitted CNG kits. This list includes some of the most fuel efficient models in the segment. The is still growing, and Maruti Suzuki is the only major players in this space right now.
Ratan Tata's dream project of a Rs 1 lakh car, the Tata Nano, has failed in its "totality" as it was unable to meet the aspirations of people looking to buy an affordable car, RC Bhargava, chairman of India's largest car maker Maruti said.
Tata Motors could soon introduce an electric variant of the Nano, as per these latest spy shots that have emerged online.
The growing demand and increased waiting period for the GenX Nano AMT variant has led Tata Motors to look into producing the AMT unit locally, which is expected to be rolled out in 2016.
Powering the Nano Twist AMT will be the same 624cc MPFI naturally-aspirated twin-cylinder engine that powers the regular Nano. This engine is good for 37bhp and 51Nm. The automated manual transmission will be the same 5-speed unit that powers the Zest.
Last year Tata Motors finally introduced the Nano with a power-steering option and CNG. It was, perhaps, then that it struck the carmaker that it could do better, and that is why the next generation of the car will be out soon.
Tata Motors is trying hard to revive the Nano brand, which has seen a constant drop in its sales. In order to boost its sales, the company has launched a new variant - Nano Twist XE - in India at Rs 2.06 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). After a few months, we'll also see an AMT-equipped model of the car.
The company claims the NanoCabs will be cheaper than hiring an auto-rickshaw. Here's how: the NanoCab costs only Rs 25 for the first 2Kms and Rs 10 for every Km traversed after that. Whereas in the case of an auto rickshaw, the average fare includes Rs. 25 for the first 1.9Kms and Rs 13/Km after that.
As part of 'Myles City-Drive' initiative, Delhi-NCR would have access to 200 Tata Nano Twist units across 43 locations in the city. Customers, who wish to own the car for less hours, can get it at a price of Rs 99/hour.
Equipped with an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), the Nano Twist F-Tronic could become the cheapest automatic car in the world, when it goes on sale.
