New Delhi: Nano, the world’s cheapest car, will be launched on Monday but the wait to own it could be longer.
Sources tell CNN-IBN Tata Motors, the manufacturer of the rupees-one lakh car, is unable to meet deadlines. Delivery of the car may take another 12 months due to what the company calls production constraints.
Tata Motors has said only 800 cars are ready till date. The car is rolling out from Tata's Pantnagar plant in Uttrakhand.
Network 18’s automobile correspondent Swati Khandelwal reports the company is trying to scale up production and intends to manufacture around 10,000 units by August 2009.
An earlier Reuters report said Tata is rolling out the Nano six months behind schedule, amid worries that an economic downturn and production constraints may spoil the success of the world's cheapest car.
Only about 50,000 cars will be available in the first year from Tata's facilities in Pune and Pantnagar, analysts say, until the 250,000-unit capacity in Gujarat comes on-stream.
