Maidan, New Delhi.
Tata has faced controversy over
developing the Nano as some
environmentalists are concerned that
the launch of such a low-priced car
could lead to mass motorization in
India with adverse effects on pollution
and global warming. Tata has set up a
factory in Sanand, Gujarat and the
first Nanos are to roll out summer
2009.
Tata Nano Europa has been developed
for sale in developed economies and is
to hit markets in 2010 while the

Asia and Africa by late 2009. A battery
version is also planned.

percent to 28,537 units
due to the rising demand
for Ace. The Ace was

Industries. By 2005,
