Who will be the first owner of Tata Nano – delivery to start from today

Who will be the first owner of Tata Nano – that is the big question everone is asking as the Tata Nano delivery will start from today. With this the dream of common man – of having a car of his own at 1 lakh will fulfill. So will fulfill the dream of a not so common man Ratan Tata who has dreamed of this and made it true – despite all the obstackles. Ratan Tata will finally hand over the keys of the Nano — his dream project — to its first owner in Mumbai on Friday.

The identity of the first Nano buyer is not known, he or she is likely to be the “common man on the street” with ordinary aspirations. In all likelihood he or she has even taken a loan for the prize catch.

Beginning today the first one lakh cars will be delivered in a phased manner till the last quarter of 2010. The first one lakh owners are price-protected and will get the Nano at the ex-showroom price of Rs 1 lakh.

The key hading over ceremony will be held at the company’s showroom in central Mumbai’s Prabhadevi locality. The rollout, which begins on Friday, will prove to be the litmus test for the much-awaited car’s on-road performance.

Tata Motors by a lottery system has selected one lakh customers out of the 2.06 lakh applicants who had booked Tata Nano. While a significant number of people opted for a loan, the top-end LX model has been the most sought after.

Currently the Nanos are manufactured at a plant in Pantnagar which can produce 60,000 units a year. Later the plant in Gujarat will also curn out the Nanos.
