Tata Nano 1 lakh car has finally been released by Tata Motors. Ratan Tata unvieled the People's car today. Before the release there were rumours that the 1 lakh car was named Tata Jeh. Some liked calling it Tata Indiva. I can't remember any other new car release getting so much attention. Tata Nano received as much hype and attention which a Rajinikanth movie would get on the day of its release, in Tamil Nadu. The Tata Nano 1 Lakh Car technical specifications of Tata Nano are as mentioned below.

The specifications of Tata Nano, especially the safety related ones seem really scarry. I guess most people would be better off travelling by a bike rather than using this car. But with India being highly price sensitive, Tata Motors could have just pulled one off. Reactions from competitors, especially from Maruti Udyog Limited is awaited. If Tata Nano becomes a hit and if there is competition in this segment, there would definitely be concerns of an environmental disaster. Tata Nano could lead to lakhs of new automobiles hitting already clogged Indian roads , adding to mounting air and noise pollution. I really doubt if the crowded roads of Ahmedabad Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bangalore can handly such a stepp increase in automobile traffic.
