Oreva Super vs NANO

Oreva Super, an electric car which could just be the country's first one lakh car, made by the Ajanta Group, a Saurashtra-based clockmaker, is planning to give serious competition to the Tata Nano. Though the Oreva Super was in the pipeline for a while, sources say production at its plant in Kutch recently moved into top gear.  "This is the first model out on display. I can't share any more details about it as we have been asked to be tight-lipped for sometime. It is just a fabulous car and very economic in these days of rocketing fuel prices," said Yogesh Tank, Oreva Automobiles, Rajkot. "Obviously, it's pricing is so strategic that it will compete with Tata's Nano," he added. Not surprisingly, the Oreva is already generating plenty of interest even though a commercial rollout, first in Gujarat and then across the country, is at least two months away. "I just tried my hands on this car. It gives great feel and it is adequate for a family like mine, two adults and two kids can be easily accommodated," said Vijay Nathwani, corporate executive, Rajkot. "People like us now can really afford to buy a car and whether Nano comes or not and whenever, this car is ready. I am just waiting to buy it the day the sales start ," Nathwani added.
