BACKGROUND NOTE
The history of Tata Motors dates back to the mid-1900s. In 1945, Tata Motors was incorporated as Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company Limited (TELCO). The company was engaged in manufacturing locomotives and engineering products. Three years later, it launched a steam road roller in association with the UK-based Marshall Sons. Tata Motors Limited is Indias largest automobile company, with revenues of Rs.35651.48 crores (USD 8.8 billion) in 2007-08. It is the leader in commercial vehicles in each segment, and among the top three in passenger vehicles with winning products in the compact, midsize car and utility vehicle segments. The company is the worlds fourth largest truck manufacturer, and the worlds second largest bus manufacturer. In March 2008, Tata Motors acquired Fords UK based car brands Jaguar and Land Rover (BBC News, 2008). According to Ratan Naval Tata (Chairman of Tata Group), the need for an innovation like Nano has got to do something for the people of India and transport. Unavailability and poor quality of mass transport is a common problem in India. In a two wheeler, father driving with elder child standing in front and wife behind holding a baby is norm in this country. Thus, this is a relatively an unsafe mode of transporting a family. Thus, with this in mind Tata Nano was created as a safer form of transport. As one of its objectives is to become an Indian business conglomerate operating in many countries, Tata Nano will be introduced in Malaysia.

Site Administration / Implementation / Maintenance After pullout from Singur, Tata decided to set up the plant in Sanand, Gujarat. Sanand has other advantages - cities like Rajkot (near to Sanand) where 30% of Nano's components are manufactured. Nano has satellite plant at Pant Nagar where assembly lines of Ace Truck have been modified to produce Nanos.
