Tatas drive Nano project to Gujarat.

A

Tata Motors have almost finalised at Gujarat for setting up their Nano plant.

Within days of exiting from West Bengal, Tatas have decided to relocate their Rs one lakh-Nano car project in Gujarat, after scouting many sites including that Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

Tata Group Chief Ratan Tata and the Chief Minister Narendra Modi would jointly announce the project in the state later in the day, officials said.

Tatas have identified the site at Sanand, near Ahmedabad, where the state government will give 1,000 acres land from the Anand Agricultural University for housing the project.

The new project site was finalised last evening after yet another visit by the Tata Motors officials, who in the last few days had scouted for possible locations in many other states.

Ever since the Tatas faced political resistance in West Bengal for their project at Singur various state governments, including Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, were in the race to woo Tatas to set the manufacturing facility for the cheapest car in the world.

According to state government officials, the MoU between Tata Motors officials and Chief Minister Modi would be signed in the evening on Tuesday.

Last week, after witnessing stiff protests from the Opposition party led by Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal, Tatas had dumped the project and had termed the decision as "unfortunate and painful."

Hitting at Mamata, Tata Group Chief Ratan Tata had said, "agitation by the opposition party has been the sole reason for this decision... How can we go into production when people are saying that we will continue agitation... I think Banerjee pulled the trigger".

Banerjee was demanding return of 300 acres of land within the project earmarked for the vendors and the same was rejected by Tatas saying vendors are integral part of the Rs 1,500-crore project.

Banerjee had also rejected the revised compensation package for farmers offered by the state government.

Tata, who had earlier charged corporate rivals for trying to sabotage the project, wondered the source of funding the agitation by Trinamool Congress, when asked if an industrial opponent was footing the bill.

Tatas had evacuated entire work force from Singur complaining intimidation and violence from the agitators who had cordoned of the entire area since August to prevent progress of work.

The India Inc had termed the Tatas' decision of pulling out of Singur as "most unfortunate industrial event of this century".

All the best Tata!

But, my only concern is HOW THE HELL are we going to manage the traffic, if Nanos become a success!?

Modi Rocks !!! we need such a CM for every state .if we want to make India a developed nation..Seriously how fast the Guj gOvt has given land to Tata denotes its seriousness to Nano Project ..Hats off to Modi

all because of one dirty politician, deciding that the state should never grow, its peoples like this that makes the country worse

.

good luck tata

Mamata ****erjee just made thousands lose their jobs and hundreds of acres of land go waste. Hat's off to this brainless stupid woman.

I doubt if any company would ever look at Bengal to put a factory, thanks to queen of stupid morons.

She single handedly ruined development and steady income in state. Hat's off to her.

She may have won the battle but Bengal has to pay the price of consequences.

^+1

Now no one will invest in West Bengal. She is worse than the communists.

^^ yes ..ekdum korrect ...its the politicians like Mamta who just play Vote Bank politics and f**k the state for their own selfish motives ..thats y some states are developed and some r still developing (read undeveloped)...Hats off to Modi again for making Gujarat No1 State of India

Anyone ready to become a politician??? Naale ko saaf karne k liye, Naale mein toh haath daalna hi padega....

I'm seriously looking forward to start my own party in future.....And I'm serious.....

Dad advises me to be an IAS officer (Permanent Executive), but I still feel that we need to get rid of the Politicians (Political Executive) who all are faggots.

Indeed hats off to him, but he still can't be forgiven for the Gujarat riots....

Atleast, I can't.

AHMEDABAD:

Nano — "an orphan without a home", as Tata called it — has finally found its home 25 km from Ahmedabad, at Sanand. The
capacity of the new plant is expected to be higher than that of the abandoned Singur plant and the Tatas have set an extremely tight time-frame of around 12 months to commission it

While the Tatas' decision to move from Singur to Sanand was formally announced at a joint news conference by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Tata in Gandhinagar on Tuesday, Tata told TOI in an exclusive interview that he was extremely impressed with Modi's seriousness of intent and the speed with which his government moved to seal the deal.

Tata Motors MD Ravi Kant said it took Gujarat just 10 days to tie up all the loose ends — make the land ready for possession, get all clearances and approvals and offer a final deal. Tata said his company decided to take up the offer "late last evening", and he was here the next day to sign an MoU with the state government.

The signs of the Tatas moving to Gujarat were available earlier, though. TOI had reported that Gujarat would be Nano's destination the very day Tata announced his decision to move from Singur.

The deal given by Gujarat is just as good as the one offered by West Bengal and, in some respects, better. As against 1,000 acres on initial offer in West Bengal, Gujarat has given 1,100 acres. This land is unencumbered and would be sold to Tata Motors on prevailing market rates.

Ravi Kant said the Sanand plant was being planned for a capacity of 5 lakh cars a year, up from the Singur plant's proposed capacity of 3 lakh cars. Tata said, as promised, he was planning to meet the deadline of the last quarter of this year for launching the Nano, although the first cars would roll out of the Tata plants in Pantnagar, Uttarakhand and Pune, Maharashtra.

A visibly relieved Tata told TOI that he had not come to Gujarat to merely build a car plant but to contribute to the state as a responsible corporate citizen. He later announced that the Tatas would take up agriculture and marine biology research in the state as well as build an ITI near the Nano plant for training workers.

Clearly, what's West Bengal's loss is Gujarat's gain. Although Tata said he was sad to leave Singur, he seemed happy to have left behind the game of political brinkmanship started by Mamata Banerjee. "There is a bad M and a good M and we have made the transition," he said in an obvious reference to Mamata and Modi. ..Very Very True

was mamta the reason for stock market crashes?

I am ready to become a politician but there is a catch, actually three catches.

The Municipal Council Seat of my area is reserved for woman.
The Delhi legislative assembly seat of my area is again reserved for a woman.
The House of People seat is set is reserved for SC candidate.

This only leaves me the President and Council of State seats both of which are ceremonius roles.

Offtopic/ Just noticed this is my 2000th post on the forum.

MODI BHAI JINDABAB...we need more people like you...

@kumarmohit

Congrats on your 2000th post.

when it comes to industrial development Gujrat kicks the balls out of the other states

commie Bengal and the pepul there any way did not deserve the Nano plant. serves them right

wow, first time i am seeing 14 posts together and almost all are praising modi!!! now thats a rare site..hee hee...

I would like to make a few of points.

this tata plant will create almost 10,000 jobs......
the farmers of Gujarat have themselves come forward to sell their land for setting up this plant.
tatas are known to help develop the places wherever they put their plants. one fine example is Jamshedpur.
Jamshedji tata had donated Rs. 1000/- in 1900 to sanand to save animals during famine.

in other thoughts i really want to know what the local bengalis think abt whatever has happened. I mean, whats the general sentiment of people living in a big city like Kolkata abt the whole singur-nano-mamta issue.

a state that has been electing the same commie govt year after year for 25 years has lost its ability to think....they've become puppets at the hands of their polticians......call them zombies if you want....intellectual zombies

its bad thing for their farmers. am happy that the project did not come to dharwad(karnataka).

they give farmers peanuts and expect them to be happy. tata is a multibillion dollar man and i think he can and should give those farmers much more than what they are given now.

^^^^
It's not TATA who purchases the land from farmers... State Govt acquires the land from farmers and leases it to TATA..

I don't mean that its good or bad.. just saying

best of luck TATA...

if only it wasnt for one pathetic lady....selfish pathetic lady...

well, thats all for the state, they have signed their own doom....

When u do not have a clue about WB and its politics, why don't u STFU.

True, commies have thwarted growth in the most disgusting way possible, but calling the entire population of WB puppets, shows intellectual hollowness.

greed is the root cause of all evil..remove greed and you have world peace...people in WB should learn to remain happy with their Ambassdor factory....Amby pwns the phantom

you would be verrry surprised buddy

when the staff of the branch of a nationalised bank actually discourages you from opening a bank account in their branch and instead almost forces you to add the name to the existing account you have...you know that the state is destined to rot sittiing in their dilapitated tea shops discussing lenin and sum post-modern neo-linguistic cultural revolution crap

Na-no....lolz :lol:

Moving to gujarat, aftr wat waz happening in WB, waz the best thing tata did

Then there were not sooooo many carz as of now u noe

Thats what you say, ask those who were in that gen when maruti was everywhere. Overloaded the roads, but still more companies and cars continued to come and we are still going. Every gen says the same, one day we wont be able to even walk on these roads.............but the world continues, population continues, cars, automobiles, all continues to grow and still people are living, growing and walking on the same roads as well.........

Cool Sam..u have become so serious

So you get to comment on whole of WB because of a supposed bad experience of opening of an account. That is indeed intellectual hollowness at its full glory.

slugger said:

That is another display of pride in ignorance.

People who actually understand Lenin or post-modernism do not sit in "dilapidated tea shops" and those who do sit there discuss everything but those. I doubt if Lenin or post-modernism is discussed anywhere other than college or University classrooms or commie HQ. :lol:

"Cultural revolution" ? What is that thing and who the hell in WB discusses that ?

Ever heard of Jindal's project at Salboni, where 5000 acres of land were acquired, almost without a fuss, at about the same time Tata's were acquiring land at Singur. Singur was destined to fail for reasons, beyond the capacity of your understanding.

Gujarat just went one-up in industrial sector..

Possible launch date for Nano.

Tata Nano is likely to be released on Ratan Tata’s birthday on December 28.

Tata Nano is likely to be rolled out around Ratan Tata’s birthday on December 28, just as the ‘Indica ‘ was launched a decade ago when he turned 61.

According to informed sources, Tata Motors is working on a plan to launch the ‘People’s Car’ , as Tata fondly refers to, to coincide with his birthday with about 10,000 units being readied to be rolled-out from the company’s facilities in Pune and Pantnagar . Vendor sources also said, already parts for about 12,000 units of Nano have been dispatched to Tata’s both Pune and Pantnagar facilities.

They added that initially only the base model of Nano would hit the roads this year. When contacted for comments on the development, company officials reiterated the stated position of exploring possibilities of manufacturing Rs one-lakh car at its existing facilities at Pune and Pantnagar and launch it in the last quarter of this financial year. It may be recalled that the ‘Indica’ was also launched on December 30, 1998, two days after Tata celebrated his 61st birthday.
