Tata Nano: People's car

The Tata Nano is a affordable, rear-engined, four-passenger urban center motorcar constructed by the Indian company Tata Motors. Trained principally at the Indian domestic market place, it is an typic example of Gandhian engine room, a conception postulating deep frugalness and a willingness to challenge conventional Wisdom of Solomon.

Tata Motors began selling its "one-lakh auto" in Master of Architecture, 2009. The cheapest auto in the world today, with a damage little more than US $ 2,000, the Nano is within orbit of many Indian categories who could not antecedently afford an auto. 

In 2008 the Financial Times reported : "if ever there were a symbol of Indias
ambitiousnesses to become a modern country, it would sure be the Nano, the flyspeck motorcar with the even tinier price-tag. A victory of homegrown applied science, the $ 2,200 (1,490, 1,186) Nano capsules the dream of illions of Indians groping for a shot at urban successfulness."

Nano is the ATOMIC NUMBER 14 prefix for one-billionth, and the word is used informally to mean "very small".  The nickname, "one-lakh car" is due to the Nano's purchase price of near 100,000 (onelakh rupees)
