...Case exam 2013 2014: TATA Nano Tata Motors is India's largest automobile company, with consolidated revenues of USD 34.7 billion in 2012-13.

Among them is Jaguar Land Rover, the business comprising the two iconic British brands Jaguar and Land Rover, which Tata bought in 2008. In the same year Tata Motors launched the Tata Nano, the cheapest car in the world. When Tata Motors, the automaker from the $68 billion Tata Group of India, announced the launch of a people’s car in 2003, the idea had everything in it to make the Indian middle-class dream of owning their first car come true.

While India's population is more than one billion people, only around one million passenger cars were sold in the country in 2007. By contrast, more than seven million motorcycles and scooters were sold. Mr. Tata said the tiny car is aimed at keeping the families of India's growing middle class from having to travel with as many as four people on a scooter. "It will provide Indian families with...
