Gujarat Gets Tata's Nano Plant

Tata Nano, the revolutionary small car from Tata Motors has a new home. The chairman of the Tata Group Ratan Tata on Tuesday announced the relocation of the Rs 2,000-crore Tata Nano project to Gujarat from Singur in West Bengal.
Tatas have got 1,100 acres of land at Sanand, about 35 kilometers from Ahmedabad. Members of the state cabinet and senior officials of the Tata group were present during the signing of the agreement. The mother plant was earlier meant to be located at Singur.
Tata said that the group had opted for Gujarat because it had "already lost a lot of time (in the Singur controversy) and urgency was the need of the day." "We had an urgency to move to a new location." The chairman said that the 'reputation of Gujarat' and the 'speed' at which provisions were made, forced him to opt for Gujarat.
This project, which will help Gujarat create it's own space in surface transportation, Mr. Modi said that the state is already known for the ship-breaking industry and had the likes of Bombardier at Vadodara which manufactures deluxe train coaches.

The chief minister also related a 100-year-old incident, when Ratan Tata's grandfather, Jamshedji Tata had helped Gujarat by donating Rs 1,000 during a famine to save cattle.
