History of Tata Nano
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 drive motorcycles.[4] 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 labor.
The introduction of the Nano received much media attention due to its low price.
The Tata Nano is a city car manufactured by Tata Motors. Made and sold in India, the Nano is the cheapest car in the world today. Before it went on sale, a price of 1 lakh (US$1,600) was widely touted. Since its 2009 debut, the price has increased; while

TATA NANO is a project that will surely be viable in the longer run. Further, it will be a project that will embark India as the biggest producer of small cars in the world.
Tata Motors by introducing Nano has created a new category in the auto industry ie ‘ultra-low-cost-vehicle’. In the auto industry today we see automakers rolling out (not so cost friendly) smart cars, hybrid cars etc but we have yet to see a car that fits a low budget, environmentally friendly and fuel efficient (before the Nano). The advent of the Nano in the auto industry has now set a new benchmark for other auto industry leaders to follow in terms of innovation. Tata Motors thought competitors to first listen to what the people need, their affordability and only then work towards meeting that on an innovative platform. Following Tata’s footsteps, Ford, Nissan, Volkswagen, Hyundai and General Motors are working to reshape their operations and scurrying to introduce their own their own budget cars.
The CEO planned poorly for the future, even when the product didn’t even hit the market yet. His goal on minimal costs was his backbone for the Nano and he relied heavily on this one feature. He should have undergone more market testing for his product instead of assuming that everyone was going to go crazy for his product. He needed to come up with the proper campaign that would attract customers for additional reasons other than cost. Everyone already knows the price is extremely low, so ads should stress other qualities of the vehicle.
Tata Nano is the cheapest car in the world. It is sold in home country India around Rs 1 lakh i.e. approximately USD 2000.
Many companies ignore these markets because they may think it is difficult to gain a lot profit from these markets, so Tata Motors decided to target these markets and provided low price cars that customers can afford.

Driven by India’s large population of over a billion, and low market penetration, The Indian passenger car market became the fastest growing in Asia. International automobile manufacturers were able to take advantage of the highly skilled engineers at affordable cost, setting up operations throughout the country. From its inception in 1981, Maruti benefited from India’s open market and for the last thirty years established itself as a dominant player in the Indian automobile industry, owning over a majority percentage of the market share. It offered the emancipated Indian motorist an affordable, efficient, and safer alternative to outdated models. Despite its strong position in the market, however, Maruti had little control over pricing due to intense competition and ruthlessly kept the price of cars low as not to lose ground to its competitors.
The People’s Car will also provide reliable, cost-efficient transportation to consumers. Tata is planning to produce 250,000 People's Cars within the first year (Giridharadas). Considering that India's middle class is almost 300 million, the potential for sales is enormous. Profits will be made, leading to benefits for both India and Tata Motors. Even if the profit margins are small, the numbers of products being sold will generate a sufficient amount to make it worthwhile for Tata Motors.
