Tata's dream project -- Nano --has an admirer in Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal who wants urban planners to develop cities on the principles of affordability, world-class quality and technology.

Congratulating Tata Motors for making the ‘world-class’ car for the common man, Sibal said cities in India should also be developed on the lines of "Tata's mantra of affordability, world-class quality and technology".

"The mantra of Nano is accessibility, affordability and world-class quality and technology and our cities should be developed in such a way," Sibal said, giving away awards of "Future Cities India 2020" competition.

"Nano is not just a car. It is small and represents the ordinary man, who dreamed of taking his family in a car and Tatas had made it possible. Ordinary people can now afford a car which is affordable, stylish which also represents world-class technology," he said.

"Transportation in the cities in future should be affordable and accessible for the poor and it should be of a world-class quality," he said.
