A Tata Nano car today caught fire near the Shivranjani Crossroads here, fire officials said.

"The incident took place near Shivranjani Crossroads when a Tata Nano belonging to Vipul Jani caught fire while he was driving home," they said.

"My car caught fire all of a sudden near the Shivranjani crossing, while I was on my way home. A police complaint has been registered in this regard," Jaani told reporters.

"The rear portion of the car, where the engine is located caught fire. I had purchased the car on May 1 last year," he said.

Earlier, a brand-new Nano car was gutted on the National Highway-8 near Boriyavi village of Anand district in April last year.

Following the incidents of freak fire in Nano cars, Tata Motors had conducted tests during September and October 2010, and concluded that car itself was safe.
