AHMEDABAD: Within days of exiting from West Bengal, Tatas have decided to relocate their Rs 1 lakh-Nano car project in Gujarat, after scouting many sites including Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

The Tata Group Chairman, Mr Ratan Tata, and the Gujarat Chief Minister, Mr Narendra Modi, will 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 from the Anand Agricultural University for housing the project. The new project site was finalised on Monday evening after yet another visit by th e 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, have made offers for locating the small-car project in their State. - PTI
