Tata Nano enters Bangladesh
15.04.2010
Officials at Indian automaker Tata Motors say that it has indicated interest in sourcing auto components from Bangladesh.
But setting up a plant to manufacture the world’s least expensive car, the Nano, would have to wait, a company official said.
According to a representative of Nitol Motors, Tata’s business partner, a technical team from Tata will carry out a survey
within the next two months for assessing the possibility of manufacturing auto-components in Bangladesh.

More about the plan of Tata Motors

Matlub Ahmed, Nitol Motors’ chairman, recently told New Age newspaper that his team discussed the prospects with Prakash Telang, Tata Motors’ managing director.
“Our discussions focused much on the possibility of sourcing Bangladeshi auto-components for manufacturing Tata vehicles in India as well as assembling them in Bangladesh,” said Ahmed. He said he had projected the growing capacity and experience of Bangladesh’s machine tools, battery and light engineering industries to partner Tata’s auto ventures. “I brought to his (Telang’s) notice the ready capacity here for sourcing components like batteries, vehicle tires and brake drums,” he added.
Tata’s Nano project, originally located in West Bengal, India, ran into trouble and was relocated in Gujarat. Though delayed, so far it has rolled out more than 60,000 vehicles.
Telang told Ahmed that setting up a Nano plant in Bangladesh would depend upon the feasibility of the auto part sourcing.
Nitol has been assembling and selling Tata trucks and buses in Bangladesh for nearly three decades. (The Economic Times-India)
