NANO- A gift or curse?

Poonam Sahu

What is it? Is it Nano which is music gadget? NO I am not talking about anything like that. But it is something else? Guess............

Yes, it’s a car.

Can you ever imagine that there can ever exist, World’s cheapest car which cost
1,00,000 INR; 1,350 GBP; 1,980 US$? I even had never thought in my dreams that it could be a car.
A car made by Tata Motors in India. It is the smallest, lightest and the cheapest car in the whole World. It doesn’t have any comparison, yet.

Reports from BBC say that, “Mr Ratan Tata (The Chairman of Tata Motors) said the car would be the greenest in India.

The 3 metres long, four-door, five-seater Nano has a 624cc engine at the rear, which delivers 23.6km per litre, and has a CO2 emissions rating of 101 g/km (grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre driven).

It is India first success after Maruti Suzuki. It is also said by Mr Tata that after it reaches its target sale in India Nano will be exported to richer nations like UK, US, etc..

But it is being doubted that as India is the most populated country of the World, and has also showed an increase in motor consumption. It has been estimated that Nano would create havoc in India.

As there will be the cheapest car, most of the middle class people can afford to have a car. Every house will have a car, and roads will be blocked with traffic.

Day by day it is being difficult and time consuming to travel from one part of the city to the other. Hope this smallest and cheapest car would make Mr Ratan Tata feel proud, not guilty.
