No i don't think its available for TD(or is it?am not sure), Maybe Its just for display in showrooms.
I don't think anyone has booked it here. :)

no test drive available as of now. only bookings
@vibhor yes it wasnt registered, the number plate read "nano" it has been brought to the city for displaying the showroom.

But who will book this car without test drive, only those people who can trust Tata blindly. :roll:

Nano Gains Over Maruti Models in Fuel Efficiency



Maruti Suzuki models have been the most fuel efficient cars in India since several decades. However, the recent testimonials from the Automobile Research Association of India reveal Tata Nano to be a more fuel efficient car. ARAI testified that Nano consumes much less fuel than the most economical models of other auto makers.

ARAI in Pune testified that Nano is the most fuel efficient car in India amongst all commercially launched 450 small car models in India. It gives nearly 23.6 kmpl of fuel efficiency under standard conditions.

Maruti Suzuki currently owns nearly 55 percent of the total market share in India and accounts for nearly two-third of the small car sales in India. Its model A-star is known to have clocked fuel efficiency of 19.3 kmpl. Its highest selling model Alto also delivers mileage equal to Hyundai i10 that delivers a fuel efficiency of 18.1 kmpl.

this is the steps to success for TATA!

Yes, I too read this, Check this link also - Tata Nano returns mileage of 23.4 KPL Says ARAI!

But still, I'm sure that this car won't return the same mileage in cities with heavy traffic, On the basis of tests which they are saying are performed in totally different conditions, which is surely not applicable to real life condition.

Very True, Even they claim that Maruti 800 returns about 15kpl in city buit i know that my maruti 800 returns just around 12kpl in city, there are many factors which affect on mileage of a car which includes driving style too.

This figure is just a result of standard test condition in a test track and not real world conditions. Nano should deliver around 18kpl in city, just my guessing.

Personally i feel that 18Kpl figure should be of Highway, In city it won't go above max to max of 16kpl.

yes it should be giving 16 to 18kmpl overall.
about the test drive. i read somewhere that soon test drives will be also available. till then people can fill in the registration forms which costs Rs.300. deliver will take some time now as first its going to be a lottery system and second tata is not yet ready to produce 1lacs units(which is the target for tata in the first phase of production) in the first year itself.

Damn 51000 in 3 days. Even the alto takes 3 months to reach the 50000 mark
Its going to be hell on the Indian roads when the Nano comes in.

By the way i heard that A nano is at display at the westside store in Ambience Mall , Gurgaon.

OMG!!
51000 in 3 days!
that is cool!

wow! what figures! 51000 in 3 days.

Indian roads will surely soon get flooded with so many nanos!

yes. considering its low price and hype.

Most of the Parking lots are already having lack of space and we can see big jams even on flyovers and don't know what will happen when this nano will roll out on roads! Can't even imagine.:shock:

government should take steps to improve traffic.

Tata Nano's bookings have already started from yesterday and people are rushing for it!Anyone here who is planning to book nano?
TATA NANO BOOKINGS STARTED
Starting today, buyers can book the world’s cheapest car, the Tata Nano. Tata Motors has entered into agreements with 18 preferred banks/ NBFCs for financing and with five partner insurance companies to offer comprehensive insurance, under the ‘Tata Motors Insurance’ banner. Customers willing to book the Nano can either pay the entire booking amount - which is Rs. 95,000 (for the Tata Nano Std), Rs. 1,20,000 (Tata Nano CX), and Rs. 1,40,000 (Tata Nano LX) - using their own funds or seek financing.
Tata Motors on Wednesday said that it has entered into agreements with National Insurance, ICICI Lombard General Insurance, Royal Sundaram Alliance General Insurance, United India Insurance and HDFC Ergo General Insurance. The insurance premium would start at Rs 3,468 (ex New Delhi).
Tata Motors will announce the allotment of 1 lakh units of the Nano through a random selection process in the first phase by June-end (60 days after the last day of the booking which is April 25).

Has anyone booked Nano? or planning to do so?

I heard that only after 26th, the booking process will be complete and till then just payment of the booking amount can be made.

Yes CC, But am surprised that even without taking a test drive of a car how can people book it?and everyone know that this is based on all new concept! 8O

Here everyday i could see 20-30 people in Tata showroom around Nano. I'm waiting for the crowd to come down to have a look at it. But when there is no TD available, what is the use of visiting the showroom?

Yeah True, I too think same, I will also visit Tata showroom one day to have look at nano but only when its available for TD and the crowd gets less.
