Bookings for Tata Nano Car begin from Thursday

New Delhi, April 8 (IANS) Tata Motors were set to accept the application forms for the world’s cheapest car, the 624-cc jelly-bean shaped Nano, from Thursday in what will be the steepest booking fee charged in India for an automobile.

Over the next 17 days, prospective buyers can buy application forms for Rs.300 each and apply with an upfront payment of around Rs.95,000 – or Rs.2,999, if they wish to get it financed, company officials said.

That alone will not assure them the car, which group chairman Ratan Tata had promised to deliver at Rs.100,000 ($2,000) at factory gates – and which he had managed to keep amid awe and admiration of the global automobile industry.
