The Tata Nano is an inexpensive, rear-engined, four-passenger city car built by the Indiancompany Tata Motors and is aimed primarily at the Indian domestic market.
Tata Motors began selling its "one-lakh car" in March, 2009.[5] This nickname is due to the Nano's price point, near 
100,000 (one lakh rupees). It is the cheapest car in the world today,[6] though the price continues to rise[7] due to increasing material costs.[8]In 2008 the Financial Times reported: "if ever there were a symbol of India’s ambitions to become a modern nation, it would surely be the Nano, the tiny car with the even tinier price-tag. A triumph of homegrown engineering, the... Nano encapsulates the dream of millions of Indians groping for a shot at urban prosperity."[9] "Homegrown engineering" is a relative term here as much of the systems and parts used in the Nano may not have been developed or produced in India.[10]
