NEW DELHI, Aug 2 (PTI): Country’s largest auto maker Tata Motors will deliver up to 60,000 units of the Nano, which is touted as the world’s cheapest car, by July next year while remaining committed to handing over the first one lakh cars by 2010 once its mother plant in Sanand goes on stream.
Tata Motors Chairman Ratan Tata said in the company’s Annual Report for 2008-09 that 95 per cent construction work at the Singur plant was completed before the project was “thwarted” by Trinamool Congress last year, forcing the company to relocate it to Gujarat.
He said the new plant in Sanand is likely to be ready by the end of this financial year. It would have an initial production capacity of 2.5 lakh units per annum.
“In the meantime, the Nano is being produced in other plant facilities so as to enable around 50,000-60,000 cars to be available to customers over the next 12 months until the main new facility in Gujarat comes on line,” Tata told shareholders in the report.
The company is currently manufacturing the car at its Pantnagar facility, which has an annual capacity of 50,000 units.
