Tata's Nano and Singur

Tata Motors, the creators of the world's cheapest car “Nano“, has reached an agreement with protestors at its factory in Singur, West Bengal.

The plant in Singur is 90 % complete but demonstrators had stopped construction to protest what they describe as the forced eviction of local farmers.

West Bengal state's opposition Trinamool Congress party, which has been spearheading opposition to the plant, says it has reached a deal with the state government that would see some of the land for the nearly-complete factory returned to displaced farmers.

Other farmers will receive compensation.

Tata Group, hoping to launch the two and a half thousand US dollar 'Nano' next month, warned last week the plant would be moved out of West Bengal if the demonstrations continued.
