WASAN motors outside Swastik Park in Chembur was one of the select few Tata dealerships across the country , which got their first TATA NANO for display. The showroom expected a huge crowd on the first day but saw only a serious few walking throught their doors to glance at the Indias new wonder car. Having said that, WASAN did sell as much as 300 booking forms at Rs 300 each on the first day.
Many who walked into the Tata dealerships were disappointed that they could not take the car out for a spin. Although Nano merchandise such as T-shirts, alarm clock and key chains were on display, they weren’t available for sales.
Tata Motors’ sources said merchandise and booking forms will be sold from all dealerships, SBI branches, Croma and Westside outlets from Thursday.
Tata Motors launched the Nano in Mumbai on March 23, in three variants. The car can be booked till April 25 and the company will process and announce the allotment of 100,000 cars in the first phase within 60 days of closing the bookings. Deliveries are expected to begin in July.
