Monday, 06 October 2008

Hyderabad, Bangalore, Oct. 5 The officials of Tata Motors led by its Managing Director, Mr Ravi Kant, held discussions with the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Dr Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy in Hyderabad and the Karnataka Chief Minister, Mr B. S. Yeddyurappa, in Bangalore on Sunday, on their respective offers for land and facilities to relocate the Nano project. “We came to see what the State Government was willing to offer,” Mr Ravi Kant told mediapersons after the meeting in Hyderabad. The Tatas had decided to pull out the project from Singur citing hostile environment there. The company officials, accompanied by the respective State Government officials, visited Sitarampuram in Ranga Reddy district in Andhra Pradesh to inspect a 1,100- acre land and Dharwad in Karnataka to inspect the 1,000-acre site offered for the Nano project. Ms J. Geetha Reddy, Minister for Major Industries, Sugar, Commerce and Export Promotion, later said that the Chief Minister assured the delegation that the Government was willing to discuss if further clarifications were required after identifying the land for the project. “We will await their decision for now as they are also visiting other States for putting up the plant. We have also to see the incentives other States are willing to offer and have assured the team that we are willing to better the offers by others,” she added.
