Although, the company says that the Nano is important in the company portfolio and will not be vanishing completely. The Spokesperson mentioned, "Nano has been an iconic car reflecting the innovative spirit of the company and its leaders. Decisions on product lifecycle is a holistic view taken after considering the market developments, regulations and emerging competitive landscape. Any such decisions are announced as and when it\'s taken.” “Production planning of a car is a conscious management of demand, system inventory and planned efficiencies. Therefore, speculating on the fate of a car based on a month\'s production figure is something the company would not like to participate in."

It was as well informed that the Nano would not go out because of sentimental value and even shareholders did not want it. Although, Tata Motors has not completely eliminated the Nano from the portfolio. The company will produce the Nano on order in the Sanand facility, Gujarat. Amid, the company will pay more attention and enlarge the manufacturing facility in order to fulfill the demand of the Tata Tiago and Tata Tigor in India.
