MUMBAI // The first Tata Nano, the world's cheapest production car, has been delivered in Mumbai, India. Mr Ashok Raghunath Vichare was handed the keys to his Luna Silver coloured Nano late last week by Ratan Tata, the chairman of the Tata Group. Two other customers, Ashish Balakrishnan and Kores India took delivery of their cars at the same time. The company received more than 200,000 orders for its first batch of 100,000 Nanos and introduced a lottery system to decide which customers would be lucky enough to receive these historic cars.
