News Report:-

Tata Motors is all set to manufacture 1,000 Nanos at its Pune plant. The vendors have released their last lot of components for Nano on Thursday, which will be delivered to Pune within a day or two.

“Tata Motors, which is keenly watching the developments at Singur, is getting itself ready to rollout Nano in October. If the Singur logjam is not resolved within a fortnight, then they have to make some arrangements to roll out Nano from any of its plants. As of now, this does not look to be a part of the much-speculated Plan B,” Tata circles indicated.

Incidentally, Tata Motors had informed its 55-odd vendors of Nano to supply components for 1,000 Nanos by September 8 to the Pune factory. This was also confirmed by a leading vendor, who had invested in the Singur vendor park, and will be supplying sheet metal for Nano chassis.

Incidentally, nearly 3,000 components are required to manufacture a Nano. However, the vendors also feel that the Pune plant will not be able to meet the volumes that Tatas are looking at for Nano in the next two to three years time.
The official Tata Motors spokesperson told: “Tata Motors wishes to dissociate itself from any speculation regarding Nano.”

Interestingly, after tension escalated at Singur, Tata Motors had issued technical approvals to vendors which will enable them to supply components for Nano, if the car is produced at the company’s Pantnagar, Pune and Lucknow plants.

Work at the vendor park in Singur has come to a standstill after the decision on Sunday to stop work there till the joint committee zeros in on land that can be doled out to the landlosers.

A senior official of Rucha Engineering said: “We can only start work at the site if Tata Motors gives us the green signal and if the environment becomes conducive at Singur. Tata Motors has given us a October 1 deadline to be ready with our plant. As of now, we have not got any other communication from Tata Motors. We are hopeful that Singur issue will be resolved at the earliest.”

Here is the news for those skeptical about the Nano!! Nano passed the road test so its fit to be sold anytime from now on.

Here is the news report

The Singur plant may not be ready to roll out the Nano just yet, but the Rs 1 lakh car is now officially roadworthy for Indian tarmac.

The car was successfully ‘homologated’ by the Pune-based Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), which handed over the Nano’s clearance certificate to Tata Motors last week.

This means that the car has met all the specified criteria for roadworthiness laid out by the government including emissions or noise & vibration and can now ply on Indian roads.

Tata Nano and the Singur Issue - Mamata Banerjee's dangerous political game

Is Mamata Banerjee a bitch who is out to gain political mileage by acting to promote the farmer's cause or is she the true savior as she seeks to project herself? Well, its hard to answer this especially without knowing the truth behind the protests.

There is definitely a point in the protests but, only if, the farmers are not adequately compensated for their lands and also for their future. What I mean by that is if farmers were paid much below the market prices and if they are not being offered any kind of jobs within the plant, however menial it maybe, that can ensure their future income.

In my opinion the small farmers are better off selling their land and getting employed. Farming is no easy job anymore - We hear news about the suicides from so many parts of the country, don't we?

Protests, for any other reason, is either purely political or Tata's corporate rivals could be playing their dirty games to stall the Nano from taking off.

I have to praise Mamata for one thing - the timing of her entry. She waited till the last moments to take up this cause knowing fully well that Tata's have no option but to settle when the plant is at its final stages. Its too expensive for Tata's to move anywhere else at this point and this could put the entier Nano thing at risk. She is a shrewd woman, thats for sure.

So whatever may be the motives there is only one way out i.e for Tata's and the West Bengal Govt. to compromise and give in to some, if not all, of the demands.
