<br />After a slew of problems and delays - not the least of which was a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/23/supplier-ceo-attacked-and-killed-by-laid-off-workers/">huge amount of opposition</a> from local farmers in West Bengal where the first assembly plant was being built - Tata Motors has finally announced that production of their Nano city car will begin on March 23 at the alternate facility in Gurajat. Sales will officially begin the first week in April as dealerships receive their first allotments of what is sure to become an instantly popular vehicle.<br /><br />Much of the hype surrounding the Nano is related to its targeted low price, which at 100,000 rupees (just under $2,000 in U.S. dollars at current exchange rates) would make Tata's Nano the cheapest automobile in the world. Of course, that's without standard air conditioning or painted bumpers and such, but it will come with a 33-horsepower, 623cc two-cylinder engine driving the rear wheels. <span style="font-style: italic;">Thanks for the tip, Gustavo</span>!<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/tata-nano/">Tata Nano</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/tata-nano/573603/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/01/2008-tata-nano-15_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/tata-nano/573590/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/01/2008-tata-nano-16_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/tata-nano/573592/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/01/standard1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/tata-nano/573602/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/01/2008-tata-nano-18_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/tata-nano/573600/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/01/2008-tata-nano-17_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: Tata Motors via <a href="http://motortips.blogspot.com/2009/02/tata-nano-sales-will-begin-in-march-23.html">Motor Tips</a>]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/26/tata-nano-to-officially-debut-on-march-23-sales-start-in-april/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Tata Nano to officially debut on March 23, sales start in April</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/26/tata-nano-to-officially-debut-on-march-23-sales-start-in-april/">Tata Nano to officially debut on March 23, sales start in April</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 26 Feb 2009 13:57:00 EST.
