anurag_p80 · 13th March 2009, 17:30

Great scoop there, sidindica. Wats takiya mean in this context?

EDIT: Guess DCEite has already answered

. Wasn't that Taka though, as in "Take ser bhaaji, Take ser Khaaja"

avishar · 13th March 2009, 17:34

brilliant scoop. Any idea about by how much the Lx variant would be costlier than the base version?

Great scoop Sid, hats of to you.

Looks like Tata is going to clear all their WB plant (mamta) losses by selling forms itself.

iceman7 · 13th March 2009, 17:45

Great scoop (once again)

Sid!!

Rear Wheel Drive - Sound like fun.

vinaydas · 13th March 2009, 17:49

10 lak bookings..
Get ready people.
few months from now i think the traffic wont be the same as it is now(maybe)

DriverR · 13th March 2009, 17:50

A First Scoop once again. Hats off to you Sid.

OT: "Taka" is still used used in West Bengal as the colloquial word for rupees.

speedzak · 13th March 2009, 18:02

Team-bhp rocks!
Great scoop and amazingly detailed.

Would like to place a booking for an LX or CX.

Any details about the price difference between the base, CX and LX versions?

TOR · 13th March 2009, 18:13

Considering 10 lakh bookings

Booking forms revenue-30 crores(taking 300/- per form).

Booking revenue - 7000 crores(taking 70,000/- as booking amount).

The waiting period of the Nano would well be double that for the current Dzire diesel!

Still skeptical about the anticipated total booking number considering the relatively high booking amount and uncertainty of delivery period.

Steeroid · 13th March 2009, 18:15

Easy money!

In these tough times, too.

d3mon · 13th March 2009, 18:20

People going gaga, but has anyone noticed that the 100,000 figure quoted is "EX FACTORY" not ex showroom ??

BTW great scoop !

quicksilver · 13th March 2009, 18:28

Great news! It will make a perfect City car, looking forward to book the CX here.

The number of bookings expected looks like a bit optimistic considering the steep booking amount and the availability of 'Booking finance' which was there earlier on for cars like the Uno/Sumo/Indica when they were launched.

Fountainheader · 13th March 2009, 18:35

Great stuff SidIndica.

OT: All your scoops have a same format (No 1st letter CAPS) and all. So do you type the whole thing out ?

leadf00t · 13th March 2009, 18:42

Excellent scoop as always sidindica.

SOme noteable points
1) different tyre sizes for F adn R
2) RWD -- hehaw...... drift baby drift. but with a engine i doubt it will barely pull.
3) tata has made every possible effort to cut costs. very evident from the feature list.
4) 10 lakh bookings means eventually the government needs to take a project of atleast 8 lane roads all over india. otherwise the traffic jams will mean the cars will always stay parked. ah. where do we park so many nano's .

black12rr · 13th March 2009, 18:54

Now a RWD hatch , a first in INDIA ? , ala mini porsche

. The demand would be huge I can see , even can see grey market prices for early allotment and delivery
