Tata Nano now fires in ColomboBudget taxi carries out its operations with a total of 75 Tata Nano cars and reported none to have got hurt, but that the Nano was completely written off.

A spokesman from Budget Taxi reported they hadn’t found out the cause for the Nano catching fire in Colombo.

Soon after Tata Nano’s inception in India last year, there are as many as 5 cases reported so far of the small car catching fire. According to the company’s report in May 2010, they claimed they had probed into the fire incidents through a specialist team that failed to detect any defects regarding its manufacturing and that Nano was an absolutely safe car.

While the report confirmed the Nano to be safe, Tata Motors did offer conduction of pre-emptive tests on all the Nanos sold so far.
