Maruti Suzuki's A-Star comes second with a fuel efficiency of 19.6 km per litre. Maruti's highest-selling model Alto and Hyundai i10 share the third spot with an efficiency score of 18.1 kilometer per litre
Tata Motors has received an overwhelming response to its Rs one-lakh wonder, Nano, selling over 51,000 booking forms in the last three days.
According to sources close to the company, it sold 51,000 booking forms from its 218 dealerships since it started selling on April 4.
When contacted, a Tata Motors spokesperson said, "The response is progressing increasingly everyday." He, however, declined to give any more specific details.
The sources, however, said the forms were sold only at Tata Motors dealerships and not at other outlets such as that of Croma, Westside and Titan World.
