Tata 'NANO' - The People's Car from Tata Motors

Almost half a decade after Ratan Tata dropped a bombshell by announcing details of the cheapest car in the world, the Tata supremo will hand over the keys to the first customer today.
The troubles that Tata Motors has had in getting its Nano microcar off the ground have been well documented - after a series of protests turned violent over a land dispute between local farmers in West Bengal and the Indian automaker, production was moved to Tata's Pantnagar facility. Despite the massive setback (Tata had almost completed construction of the main plant before moving), the Indian automaker reportedly believes that it can assemble 80,000 Nanos by March of 2010.
