Mr Ashok Raghunath Vichare of Mumbai has become the first customer for the low-cost car.


Mr Vichare received his choice, the Tata Nano LX (Lunar Silver), at the hands of the Chairman of Tata Sons and Tata Motors, Ratan Tata, at the company’s dealership, Concorde Motors, today.
 
Speaking at the handover, Ratan Tata said: “I hope the Tata Nano will bring motoring pleasure to those who will be buying their first car as also those who currently own cars but want a modern, contemporary, emission-friendly city car.”
 
Along with Mr Vichare, two other customers, Mr Ashish Balakrishnan (Tata Nano LX – Sunshine Yellow) and Kores India Limited (Tata Nano LX – Lunar Silver), also received their cars today.
 
Tata Motors has commenced deliveries of the Tata Nano this month to different towns and cities of the country.


Despatches to dealerships have begun from the Pantnagar plant, where the car is being produced.


First orders for the Nano were taken in April this year after the project was delayed due to land disputes at its planned manufacturing site in West Bengal.
