Tata Nano now roadworthy as per ARAI

Tata might have suspended the work at the Tata Nano plant in Singur in West Bengal but they continue to work towards the anticipated launch of the revolutionary car in the coming months.

Tata Nano has now been successfully ‘homologated’ by the Automotive Research Association of India.

This means that the car is now approved for sale in the Indian market and it is roadworthy as well.

The car would be launched with a fuel efficient twin-cylinder 623 cc rear mounted petrol engine. It generates 33 BHP.

Inside sources say that Nano gave a fuel efficiency of 24 km per liter during the tests by ARAI. This would make it one of the most fuel efficient cars in the Indian market.

Tata Nano also conforms to the Euro IV emission standards. Similar standards are likely to be implemented in India by the year 2010.
