Nano the Sweety Small Model Car is attracting thousands of people.

Nano being the Sweety and Small Model Car is attracting thousands of people in India and could inspire the world of auto manufacturer to design small cars with both quality and economic.
Once you have booked the car, the waiting period is likely to be long because of two primary reasons: huge demand and limited production.
So, how will you get your dream car? Well, allotment of the Nano will be done through a draw of lots, and the lucky ones will get to drive their Nano first.
It is also understood that the car is likely to attract huge premium, so you can actually make a nice killing were you to sell it as soon as it is allotted to you.
Some of the leading vendors pointed out that it was not viable to have a dedicated plant for the Nano even for volumes like 250,000 cars per annum.
A dedicated line at the site with warehousing facilities was the best option to cut down logistics costs.
As of now, the vendors confirmed that they would supply the Pune plant for engine components and the Pantnagar plant from existing facilities across India.
While the initial volumes will be as low as 3,000-4,000 cars a month, the company recently indicated to vendors that it planned to produce around 70,000-80,000 cars in FY10. Some of the vendors, while refusing to be identified, said ramping up huge volumes in Pantnagar was not feasible.
Pantnagar could, however, continue as a satellite plant for the Nano based on completely knocked down units from the mother plant.
The Sanand plant will produce 250,000 cars per year, and will capacity to go up to 350,000 cars.
Tata Motors managing director Ravi Kant has recently indicated that it would take at least a year to start production at the site.
