Nano vendors are of the belief that if all-India bookings cross 500,000, then Tata Motors may have to explore the option of having a satellite plant at Singur. As the abandoned plant is near to its present mother factory at Sanand near Ahmedabad, Tata Nano vendors are hoping against hope that this may happen soon.

Hence, whether Tata Motors will vacate the site of its original Nano car factory at Singur or not may depend, many believe, on how many people book the now-famous vehicle.

Sanand is expected to start production by the end of December and is to produce around 350,000 cars a year in a phased expansion. The Nano is presently being made at Tata Motors’ Pantnagar plant at Uttarakhand. It was to produce 100 cars a day but is presently doing 40 to 50 a day.

However, it appears that neither the government nor Tata is in a hurry to decide on Singur. Recently, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said the people of Singur wanted the Nano plant to be set up in their area and this had been conveyed to Ratan Tata.

Also, Tata said at the commercial launch of Nano that they haven’t decided on what to do with the sheds at Singur. Nothing has been ruled out, he added.
