PREFACE

This is a research proposal on a study on launch of new cheapest car in the world by TATA Company name “TATA NANO”. The objective of this research proposal is to find out an opportunity or a problem in the launch of the smallest /cheapest car targeting masses through secondary information / data.

Also to gain knowledge about how TATA brought this new product i.e., “NANO” up to the development stage and finally going to launch it on 23rd March, 2008 (already launched till now).

During this project I researched on how TATA developed NANO costing Rupees1 lakh ($ 2500 U.S) and what will be its effects. A survey was also done for understanding consumer buying pattern and preferences (which is a part of secondary data).

Thus, this study is based on new product development in marketing for TATA NANO.

“Marketing Research is the systematic and objective identification, collection, analysis, dissemination, and use of information for the purpose of improving decision making related to identification and solution of problems and opportunity”.

“Perception is the process, by which an individual selects, organizes and interprets information inputs to create a meaningful picture of the world around as”.

I conducted to gain an understanding of what goes in to mind of the customer about “NANO”. I have learned lot during my research proposal on TATA NANO and I hope this will be helpful to find out the proposal information.

    Tata held quality in a very high regard. They set specific quality assurance standards for all of their partners and affiliates making parts for them. Also, Tata believed that there was much built-in value in the design of the Nano because it was a project that was brand new and had to be reverse engineered to make up the cost savings necessary to hit the price point Tata planned on providing to consumers.

Tata employed the idea of the Nano being a “kit” car and having Indian entrepreneurs assemble and sell the cars to the public. These assembly operations would be trained by Tata corporate to stay up to the quality specifications set by the company.…

    Tata Motors announced in 2006, that the Nano would be manufactured in Singur, West Bengal, helped in part by a forced acquisition and reuse of farmland by the West Bengal state government to entice Tata to build there. In May 2006, the West Bengal Government decided to acquire 997 acres (initially 1013 acres were asked for) for the Tata Motors small car factory in Singur of Hooghly district.Almost 6,000 families, including many agricultural workers and marginal peasants will loose their land and livelihoods. Though the State Government has decided to compensate the land owners, no policy has been taken for the landless agricultural workers and other rural households who are indirectly dependent for their livelihood on land and agricultural activities.
