Tata Motors will launch its ultra-cheap car Tata Nano in the Nepalese market next month. Tata Motor is already gearing up to market the model in the international market and Nepal will be the first one to get a glimpse of world’s cheapest car on its roads after India.
Tata Motors has appointed a core dealer – Sipradi Trading Pvt. Ltd. based in Kathmandu. The company is already a dealer for Tata vehicles in the Nepal market and will get five Tata Nanos for the test drive for customers in Nepal.
"Tata has promised us that the first Nanos for sale would arrive in the first quarter of 2011, soon after manufacturing begins in full swing at the new Tata plant in Gujarat's Sanand. The first five cars will be test-driven in different locations in Kathmandu, including hilly terrain and downhill, to gauge the Nano's suitability for Nepal's roads," said Pravin Khatiwada, head of Sipradi's Passenger Car Business Unit division. He also added that his company will begin selling Tata Nano at rock bottom prices in Nepal.
Tata Motors is the fourth largest car manufacturer in the Nepalese market where Tata Indica remains one of the most sought after cars along with Maruti and Hyundai models.
