As per the reports, Tata Motors may allow their cheapest car Nano to be assembled by the local car assemblers and sell it under their own brand.

Tata Nano, the world’s cheapest car is the best selling car with 7,500 units sold since its inception in July just within three months. 

The company, which is revisiting the concept of distributed manufacturing mooted by Chairman Ratan Tata when he first talked of the Rs 1 lakh car several years ago, will become the world’s first to attempt such a "federal" structure of manufacturing.

Tata is a dedicated facility for the Nano with an annual capacity of 250,000 units, this plant likely to start commercial production in the last quarter of this financial year ending March 2010. Until then, it is making the Nano in smaller numbers at an existing plant.

The company may allow enterprising assemblers to set up micro-assembly sites across the country, with each producing some 10,000 cars a year, says Vice Chairman Ravi Kant told an awards function. 

"We call it Nano, they don't have to," says Ravi Kant.
