Tata to produce Nano in Gujarat

10/07/2008, 12:56 PM

By Andrew Ganz

Indian automaker Tata Motors has finally found a home for the Nano minicar’s assembly plant – near Ahmedabad in the western India state of Gujarat. Violent protests over forced land acquisition by the Indian government earlier this year forced Tata to change its plans of producing the Nano in West Bengal. The $416.6 million facility will produce up to 300,000 Nanos every year.

Should demand outpace production capabilities, Tata will allocate space at its existing factories in Pune and Pantnagar, reports the Associated Press.

Tata will eventually hire up to 10,000 workers to fill the assembly plants and it will house most of them on 1,100 acres in Sanand, outside Ahmedabad, a common practice at Indian factories.

No specific details were released regarding how Tata acquired the land, only that it was purchased at market rates. The clashes in West Bengal escalated after farmers found out they would lose their land.

Here’s the translation of what Olds said:

In Soviet Russia, Tata Nano produces YOU!!!

That wasn’t funny, but Olds will get it.

Ahh Gujarat.

Gujarat has 10 airports – not bad for one state, even if only one of them are for international flights.

A dry state and home to the world’s largest ship breaking yard and an oil refinery at Jamnagar which is the world’s largest grass-roots refineries.

Hell, Gujarat even has its own Science City, spreading on 107 hectares, this unique city has many attractions like IMax 3D Theatre, Planet Earth, Hall of Science and Asia’s biggest Musical fountain etc

Gujarat is also the home of Gandhi who preached the unity between all religions and became a world-wide figure for peaceful struggle against tyranny.

Ahh, Gujarat. I am proud of thee.
