"Nano has received enquiries for setting up plants and distribution networks from countries from US, Latin America, Europe and South East Asia", Company Managing Director of the company Ravi Kant told reporters here.     

"It is great sense of pride for everybody", he said adding "Nano has changed the rules of the market".     

The Rs one lakh wonder, which was unveiled earlier this year at the Auto Expo in New Delhi, had taken the world by storm eliciting tremendous response from different markets.     

The Nano had become a hit at the Geneva Motors Show this year, with many global firms showing their admiration for the Tatas to come up with a cost effective product.     

Kant had earlier stated that while the company's focus would remain the domestic market for the first couple of years, Tata Motors was keen to take the car to continents like Africa and Latin America.     

Talking about the progress of work at the Singur plant where Nano would be rolled our first, he said considerable advance had been made.     

"Work is going on breakneck speed to ensure start of trial production as soon as possible", Kant said.
