Besides, 35 percent customers booked the high priced Tata LX while 20 percent booked moderately priced Tata CX.

Sipradi Trading offered Tata Nano at the introductory pricde of Rs 7.98 lakh for the first ten days since its booking started on June 26. Those wishing to book the car need to deposit Rs 10,000 and pay Rs 11,111 in monthly installments for the cheapest car.

Some 8,000 queries have been made within two weeks by the customers, according to the Sipradi.

The cars will be made available by the end of July to those who have booked the vehicles, according to Sipradi.
