vehicles since 1954. Ratan Tata has always had a vision to provide utmost
services at affordable rates in India, that was when he promised the people
of India that he will launch a car worth only a lakh provided all the
comforts and safety standards. he initially had thought of Singur' west
Bengal as the manufacturing hub and bought a land of 997 acres for the
manufacturing of nano cars by state government support but the land
acquisition demanded displacement of farmers, for which it attracted
controversies and heavy criticisms, 'save farmland' movement was started by
the opposition leader, Mamata Banerjee to gain support and vote from the
people but Ratan Tata lost his patience on September 22nn 2008, when 2
security of the Tata motor Singur plant were attacked at night. the company
then started evacuating the heavy machinery from Singur plant signalling
the end of Tata nano inn West Bengal. The opposition party in awe of public
support made a huge mistake as this venture could have got a number of
employment and growth in the state.
100s of crore's investment was on risk and the dream of rs. 1 lakh car Nano
was also put in danger. With the loss of sunk cost and other accompanying
losses in hundreds of crore, the project cost and profitability has been
significantly affected. A few trade teams from Europe and other places
cancelled their visits to West Bengal because of the fear and sense of
uncertainty about doing business in the state. Chandrajit Banerjee,
Director – General of Confederation of Indian Industry, said “ It will be a
huge setback for Bengal’s development.
At the same time a good number of states came
forward proactively to attract this pretegeous and high investment project
to give Philip to the industry and employment in their state unlike the
west Bengal opposition plotting to ruin their own pathway to growth and
development the other states were able to discover the opportunity and were
readily coming forward to execute the plan of rs. 1 lakh Nano, but Gujarat
came out victorious because of a variety of reasons and the offer it made
in terms of complete package. the manufacturing plant was then later
established in Sanand, Gujarat.
PESTEL ANALYSIS:
POLITICAL: Tata motors acquired a land of 997 acres for manufacturing Cars
by state government support, But this acquisition required the displacement
of farmers. It attracted heavy criticisms, “Save Farmland” movement was
started by opposition leader Mamata Bannerjee. On 3rd October 2008, Tata
motor closed its plant from Singur and was later established in Sanand,
Gujarat. here the political matters created a fiasco for the fully success
of project "Nano"
ECONOMICAL: The plan of a affordable, secure and safe car in India had
brought an amazing growth in the market. the high investment project also
gave a boost to the industry and employment rates in the state of Gujarat.
Consumer Disposable Income – The household income of the country has
increased constantly in the last decade and half, Tata's Nano can leverage
this trend to expand the market beyond its traditional customers by
employing a differentiated marketing campaign.
If the employment rate is high then it will provide enough customers for
Tata's Nano products
SOCIAL: The attitude towards health and safety is often reflected in the
quality of the products and cost structures of manufacturing processes.
Tata's Nano has stringent norms for health and safety norms so in emerging
economies it may have to compete with players who don’t have high cost
structures that of Tata's Nano.
Car is something that everyone dreams for but due to high cost and
maintenance, people tend not to be able to afford a car, but Ratan Tata’s
vision had made it come true for millions of Indians to finally own a car
that is both safe and affordable.
