Tata Motors Wins Singur Plant Case, The Facility Was Meant For The Tata Nano

Tata Motors has been awarded a sum of over Rs 766 crore by the arbitral tribunal from the West Bengal government

Tata Sanand plant

After a prolonged battle between Tata Motors and West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation Limited (‘WBIDC’) that lasted for more than a decade over the Singur plant, the carmaker has announced its victory in the arbitration proceedings amounting to the tune of over Rs 766 crore.

What Was The Case About?

Tata Nano

In 2006, the carmaker was allotted approximately 1,000 acres of land to set up a manufacturing plant to make the world’s most affordable car: the Tata Nano. Tata Motors had even commenced the plant’s construction in early 2007, but shortly after, things started going downhill. While the land acquisition had already started drawing flak from local farmers and politicians alike from late 2006, it only intensified over the next couple of years including multiple protests. With no timely resolution in sight, Tata Motors had to make the tough decision to move away from the deal entirely and abandon the Singur plant.

It is said that Tata Motors had plans to invest up to Rs 1,000 crore in the plant and for the Nano project if everything had proceeded smoothly.

Production Delays For The Nano

Tata Motors had showcased the Nano in early 2008 and probably had plans to put it into production in the same year as well. Ratan Tata himself had made the announcement of shifting bases in view of the controversies surrounding the plant, which led to further production delays for the Nano.

Tata GenX Nano

In the following year, the tiny hatchback was launched and it was being manufactured at Tata’s then passenger vehicles-manufacturing facility located in Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. With over 2 lakh bookings for the Tata Nano in just a couple of months, the first batch of 1 lakh Nanos were delivered to owners in July 2009.

Tata Tiago EV

There were many other states including Maharashtra and Gujarat who were in the race to get the carmaker to set up its plant in their states. The carmaker eventually established a new factory in Sanand, Gujarat, which first catered primarily to the Nano in the initial years. The facility then went to manufacture many compact Tata cars such as the Tiago, Tigor and even the relatively newer Tiago EV and Tigor EV. More recently, Tata has acquired Ford India’s Sanand facility and now plans to use it to manufacture its range of EVs.

The Other Side Of The Story

Speaking of the controversy brings us to one critical question: would the Tata Nano have been more successful had everything panned out in favour of the carmaker? Well, you can say chances could have been more on the positive side. Even though Tata acted relatively swiftly to step away from the Singur deal, it wasn’t before it had made heavy investments in terms of capital, efforts and time. These otherwise could have gone into making the Nano a more value-for-money proposition by giving it more for its then heightened price.

Ratan Tata Gets A New Electric Nano Built By Electra EV

Additionally, the carmaker also had plans to introduce a diesel-powered version of the Nano, while the overall capital otherwise could have also helped in making the hatchback suitable for exports. The only possible way to see the ‘Tata Nano’ nameplate revived is if the carmaker decides to bring it back in an all-electric avatar.

Do you think the Tata Nano would have been a better product had the Singur plans gone ahead flawlessly? Let us know in the comments.

Watch: What Makes The Audi A8L Security Ideal For VIPs?


This ultra-safe luxury Audi sedan costs up to Rs 15 crore (ex-showroom)

When important political personalities and famous individuals need to travel between events, their safety is their top priority. Simply relying on airbags and driver assistance systems is not enough. These individuals require a vehicle that can provide protection against bullets and even explosions. While a typical military vehicle can offer this level of security, it lacks the comfort and discreetness required by VIPs. This is where luxury brands like Audi come in, offering specialized versions of their flagship models that are suitable for transporting VIPs and world leaders safely and comfortably. Recently, we had the opportunity to explore the Audi A8L Security, a blast-proof luxury sedan equipped with all the necessary safety features. Check out the CarDekho video below to learn more about its safety capabilities.

          View this post on Instagram                      

A post shared by CarDekho India (@cardekhoindia)

It’s Bullet and Blast proof

The Audi A8L Security is made bulletproof by reinforcing both its exterior and interior panels to a level where penetration becomes nearly impossible. In addition, it is equipped with bulletproof glass capable of stopping even sniper bullets. The extensive reinforcement of the panels not only results in significantly thicker doors but also increases the weight of the vehicle by 160kg. Furthermore, the underbody of the Audi A8L Security has also been fortified with armor to withstand blasts.

Durable Tyres

The tyres of the Audi A8L Security are not a weak spot. They are equipped with ‘Run Flat’ technology, which allows the vehicle to continue driving for up to 80 kilometers at a speed of 80 kmph even after a flat tire.

Protects The Air Inside

The safety of the occupants inside the Audi A8L Security is not limited to physical protection. In case of a chemical attack outside, the cabin is equipped with oxygen cylinders, ensuring that the occupants can breathe safely. Additionally, the doors of the sedan are designed to eject themselves in extreme emergencies, facilitating easy exit for the passengers.

Added Safety Means Added Weight

Due to the extensive reinforcement and bulletproof glass, the weight of the Audi A8L has increased by approximately two tonnes, bringing the total weight of the sedan to 4.5 tonnes. That’s more than the weight of 2 Toyota Fortuner SUVs!

The Powertrain

A safe vehicle not only provides security but also the ability to escape to a safe location quickly. The Audi A8L Security is powered by a 4-litre V8 turbo-petrol engine that produces 571PS and 800Nm of torque. With these performance figures, this heavyweight Audi can accelerate from 0 to 100kmph in just 6.3 seconds.

Price

With all these specialized modifications, the Audi A8L Security comes with a hefty price tag of up to Rs 15 crore (ex-showroom), which is around Rs 13 crore more than the standard Audi A8L. Let us know your thoughts on the A8L Security in the comments section below, and if there are any other “Security” variants of luxury vehicles that you find interesting.

Reason for Such High Prices
