2. Introduction Of Tata Nano
• “Dream-dream and dream, because dream gives vision, vision gives
thoughts and finally thoughts lead to the action". Each letter of these
motivational words said by India's former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul
Kalam goes exactly with Mr. Ratan Tata, Chairman of Tata group,
who in the year 2003, dreamt of producing a safe, affordable Car for
the common man. Finally after the wait of five years, crossing all
financial and technological barriers, Ratan Tata kept his promise
and unveiled Tata 'Nano' on 10th January 2007, at the 9th Auto
Expo 2008 in New Delhi. Tata Nano, cool & smart, launched by Tata
Motors is world's cheapest Car with a price tag of $ 2500.

3. Description about Nano
 The project has literally become India's claim-for-fame in the international-
media due to Tata Motors' innovation in developing the car, as well as
keeping it low in price.
 The car itself is expected to boost the Indian Economy, create
entrepreneurial-opportunities across India, as well as expand the Indian car
market by 65%.
 The car was envisioned by renowned industrialist, Ratan Tata, Chairman of
the Tata Group and Tata Motors, who has described it as an eco-friendly
"people's car".
 Nano has been greatly appreciated by many sources and the media for its
low-cost and eco-friendly initiatives which include using compressed-air as
fuel and an electric-version.
 Tata Group is expected to mass-manufacture the Nano in very large
quantities, particularly the electric-version, and, besides selling them in
India, to also export them world-wide.

5. Reactions about Nano
• "It's a good historic moment for the Indian auto industry and also a proud one indeed
that an Indian company took a step forward on this road. Its an upgradation for an
auto wheeler rider to by a car now.“
Rajesh Jejurikar, Managing Director, Mahindra and Renault's.
• "It's good product but it's still too early to say whether it will overtake the 800 because
it caters to a totally new market segment.”
Said Jagdish Khattar, Former MD of Maruti Udyog Limited
"Meeting the proper quality standards and safety is not feasible at all in such a model.
Andreas Prinz, Managing Director (Passenger Cars), Volkswagen Group Sales
India.
"I think it is a great thing for India because mobility is giving new opportunities. I hope
Tata drives to great success with the Rs one lakh car, but it is not included in our
plan.“
• Thomas Kuehl, Board Member, Skoda Auto India.

6. What makes it so cheap !
• The Tata Nano uses plastics and adhesives
rather than welding.
• introducing the car with an artificially low price
through govt-subsidies and tax-breaks, or
• using vertical-integration, or
• partially using inexpensive polymers or
biodegradable plastics instead of a full metal-
body.
• It has no AC, no power steering, no power
windows, no power bells and whistles.

7. Target Market
• The low-cost car is clearly
intended for the masses. For
the family of four that would
otherwise ride on a scooter,
precariously balancing a tiny
tot on the front and a baby on
the wife’s lap. For the first-time
car buyer in India - a huge
market despite the increasing
number of cars in the urban
and semi-urban areas.
• Its Also attract the small cars
buyers like maruti 800.

of energy and raw materials. The level of industrial activity has also

supply and the raising of interest rates .

about Rs. 120,000 Crores.
• The Indian automotive sector grew by 10% overall during the year

commercial vehicles were sold during the year and passenger car
sales grew to 1.53 million vehicles this year.

China. It is expected that Indian automobile industry will achieve
mass motorization status by 2014.

managed to grow by 11.1% by increasing discounts on mature
products, launching new models and due to reduction in excise duty
announced by the government in Budget during February’08.

20. Obstacles to Nano
 However, Due to the Singur land dispute, the "Stalled Car Factory"
is "Costing Jobs, Splitting Neighbors in West Bengal”
 “ Tata's problems in West Bengal are scaring off other industries
hoping to locate here, including Infosys, a software maker that
wanted to build a business park that would provide 5,000 jobs.
 Due to ongoing opposition to Tata's Singur car-factory by
Mamta Banerjee, who demanded land to be returned from the
factory, Tata Motors took decision to pull out of Singur. Tata Motors
is manufacturing Tata Nano at its Pantnagar plant.
 Tata Motors announced it was pulling out its Nano small car
industrial project from West Bengal's Singur and blamed the
Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress, which spearheaded the
protests against the factory, for the 'painful' decision.
 While existence of Tata Nano could lead to high industrial growth ,
the exit lead west Bengal a loss of more than 80,000 crore .How
ever Tata has to suffer in terms of delay and settlement cost .

21. Competencies of Tata Nano
• Tata is now 57th most valuable brand globally livemint.com: April
22, 2008 The Tata group’s intense activities in 2007 have seen
it rising 45 places to No. 57 in Brand Finance Top 500 Global
Brands
• Expectations
According to one report, India as well as other nations, such as
European nations[, have great expectations from the Nano and are
keenly and eagerly eagerly awaiting it, especially the electric version
of the Nano.
• Modular design
In fact, Tata envisions going even further, providing the tools for local
mechanics to assemble the car in existing auto shops or even in new
garages created to cater to remote rural customers. With the exception
of Manjeet Kripalani, BusinessWeek's India bureau chief, few have focused
on this breakthrough element of the Nano innovation (BusinessWeek.com,
1/10/08).

22. Competencies of Tata Nano
• Pricing strategy
Tata initially targeted the vehicle as "the least expensive
production car in the world"— aiming for a starting price of 100,000
rupees or approximately $2300 US despite rapidly rising material
prices
• Export expectation
• Being worlds cheapest car it is expected that not only India demand for
Nano will go rise at global level. Since it meeting Euro-4 norms at this price
so this is taking as a future of small car segment .
• Reputation and Acceptance of Tata After launch
“TATAs have shown the world what Indian engineering is truly capable of”
Financial Times U K reports
• Enthusiastic support
Tata Motors is receiving preliminary and some very enthusiastic
support in the media and officials, even from Europe, for the
electric-version from India as well as other-nations. The enthusiasm
is even higher than that for the petrol-version

23. Future of Nano (conclusion)
• Emerging markets are a fertile ground for innovation. The challenge
of reaching dispersed, low-income consumers in emerging markets
often spurs significant innovation.
• As customers gain more power, they will demand more tailoring and
value-added service to meet their needs. Companies that innovate
on this dimension are likely to be richly rewarded.
• World is getting tougher day by day being unique is a competitive
advantage. Expectations to Nano has proved this .
• After 100 years to Henry Ford , Tata has proved him again not only
he came out of the expectations but also came out with a platform
for Indian auto sector .
• So this as per this project conclusion can be draw as a
future car not only of Indian but also if exported than
could be to the world.

24. Important questions ?
• Will the Nano succeed?
• Car of the Future?
• Is it fair to blame the Nano for the
(upcoming) ills of Indian road
infrastructure?
• What do you think? Is the Nano a car
of the future? Or just another Yugo
debacle waiting to happen? Would you
drive one?
