Tata Motors Inaugurates Nano Factory At Sanand

[RSM]

Tata Motors on Wednesday inaugurated the world's cheapest car, the Nano's, manufacturing facility here, nearly two years after it was forced to shift the plant out of West Bengal over a land row.

The new plant at Sanand was inaugurated by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata, who seven years ago dreamt of making an affordable family car for the common man.

"When I came here first on an industry visit invited by Gujarat Chief Minister, I was told that if it (the Nano plant) is not in Gujarat, I will be a stupid.

"I am no longer stupid after investing on the plant in Gujarat," Tata said while inaugurating the plant.

Spread over about 1,100 acres, the plant in Sanand has been created at an investment of about Rs 2,000 crore.

Speaking on the occasion, Modi said: "The revolution brought by Ford in the early 20th century with its small car is being replicated now by Ratan Tata with his Nano."

Yes, the waiting period will be short now. This could become largest selling model after few months.

 

[cooldhaya]

Yeah the waiting period will get reduced now! But i seriously hope that the quality and reliability improves and we don have to see another Nano burning!

I hope this car replaces the ugly autorickshaw atleast in the urban areas.

That will eventually happen, but not for the current generation of car's.

Yes indeed bad..!! Now they should consider dropping the Nano brand atleast in India and concentrate in export markets where there is no so called perception

I don't think there will be remarkable turnaround after Twist Active is launched. They should take some tough decisions.
