Gujarat Chamber invites Mr. Ratan Tata to set up ‘Nano’ car project in Gujarat

President of Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry Shri Rupesh Shah has invited Mr. Ratan Tata to set up their mega project of ‘Nano car’ in Gujarat.  

“If you don’t invest in Gujarat, you are stupid”. Mr. Ratan Tata had stated in his address at Vibrant Gujarat’s Global Investors’ Summit in 2007. 

“Had the Nano project been in Gujarat, the company would have met the production schedule. But, in West Bengal, right from its inception, there has been stiff resistance and politicization leading to a stage wherein Mr. Tata has almost given an indication to shift the project elsewhere.” While quoting the statement, Mr. Shah explains. 

Mr. Shah while emphasizing further, states that Mr. Tata has the experience of Tata Chemicals in Gujarat right before him wherein his large investment in plant as well as township at Mithapur has come well without giving any problem whatsoever. Considering the same, Mr. Tata should think of Gujarat as project destination and Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry will extend all necessary help to see that project runs smoothly. Gujarat has beautiful economic climate for investment. We have internationally compatible infrastructural services and huge ports to facilitate large scale shipping of the cars. With implementation of Narmada project, there is ample water and electricity. The law and order situation is good for industrial peace. With increasing purchasing power of people at large, state of Gujarat also offers a potentially large domestic market. 


Moreover, there is adequate skilled labour force and friendly industry. With well developed Engineering SME sector, the state has inherent capacity to become a strong ancillary centre. The state administration is functioning constructively as development is seen as foundation of all inclusive growth. At such a crucial juncture, Mr. Tata has strong reasons to bring the project to Gujarat. Anticipating the uncertainties likely to continue in West Bengal, the state of Gujarat will surely be a happy experience. 

Mr. Rupesh Shah consolidates his invitation by stating that he will welcome Mr. Tata, not by a Red Carpet but spread Vibgyor carpet containing all the shades of a beautiful rainbow.
