Tata Nano Spotted Testing on Indian Roads
The Tata Nano was spotted undergoing testing on the roads of India the other day. As a result, the public was given another peek at the exterior as well as the interior since the Geneva auto show. Rumors have it that the Nano's release from Tata's Pune and Pantnager could very well be on December 28th—Ratan Tata's 71st birthday.
The progress on the $2500 micro car, though continuing, has had a few bumps along the way. One being at the nearly completed West Bengal factory, where Nano production had to be put on an indefinite hold due to increasingly violent protests from farmers of the surrounding area. The farmers claimed that they were unfairly compensated for the loss of their land when the Nano factory moved into place.
With the tester out on the road however, it seems that the Nano really is on its way to arrive at dealerships. The hope is then that no other major problems arise to either push back the release date, or to drive up the cost.
