Tata Motors says Nano will be out as it was promised

India's Tata Motors insisted Thursday it would stick to its planned schedule for the high-profile rollout of the world's cheapest car as it shifted equipment from the plant due to make it. The vehicle giant began moving machinery and equipment from the factory in West Bengal state Wednesday after months of protests over a land dispute. Tata Motors, India's largest vehicle company, would not say when it might make up its mind on the ultimate fate of the Singur plant, into which it has poured 350 million dollars.

A team from Tata Motors is expected to meet top officials of Uttarakhand government to press for 100-acre plot adjacent to its existing unit in Pantnagar. Tata is planning to acquire about 1,100 acres of land to re-equip the Pantnagar complex to manufacture both Ace pick-up truck as well as Nano.
