In October 2008 Tata Motors decided to move its Nano car project from Singur in West Bengal to Sanand in Gujarat. Many component suppliers had already built factories in Singur. Business Standard reported that “all vendors maintained that they were committed to the project and would relocate with Tata Motors if necessary.”
In February 2009 CarDekho reported that “Tata Motors has decided to compensate Nano vendors who established their units in Singur to supply components for Nano.”
