Tata Motors [Get Quote] on Thursday said it will have talks with the West Bengal government on the Singur land when the Nano factory was originally slated to come up, a day after state principal industry Secretary Sabyasachi Sen said the world's smallest car would be made there. "Tata Motors will discuss with the West Bengal government matters related to the Singur plot, which is on lease with the company," the firm said in a statement when asked about Sabyasachi Sen's claim that the Rs 1 lakh car Nano would "definitely be made in West Bengal".
Sen's comments came seven months after the Tatas announced relocating the Nano facility, citing an adverse political environment in the face of the Trinamool Congress's unrelenting opposition.
"Tata Motors does not have any other information to share," the statement said but did not detail the issues that the company would take up with the state government.
