For the third month in a row Tata Motors did not produce any unit of its entry level small car Nano in March, heightening the uncertainty over the future of the vehicle once dubbed as 'people's car'.

According to a regulatory filing, the company also said it did not sell even a single unit of the small car last month.

Tata Motors has so far maintained that no decision has been made yet on the future of Nano, although in its current form it will not meet the new safety and emission norms and may need infusion of fresh investments.

There was zero production and sales of Nano in March. In the same month last year the company had produced 31 units of Nano and sold 29 units, Tata Motors said in a BSE filing.

In February also Tata Motors had said there was zero production of Nano although it sold just one unit in the domestic market during the month. There was no export either.
