Mumbai, April 11: The owner of the brand new ‘Nano’ car, which caught fire on the day it was purchased last month, is planning to approach consumer court here soon seeking Rs 15 -lakh compensation from the manufacturer Tata Motors.
Satish Sawant (37), a software professional, said he had received a Rs 2.25-lakh cheque as a refund from Concorde Motors, a fully-owned subsidiary of Tata Motors, using which he settled his bank loan.
“Last week, Concorde Motors sent me a cheque of Rs 2.25 lakh, the cost of the car including accessories, to settle the issue. After discussing it with my family and friends, I accepted the cheque and deposited in the bank to settle my loan. But the issue is yet to be settled and this amount can not be termed as compensation,” Sawant told PTI.
