The Karnataka government is in
negotiations with Tata Motors on relocating the Nano project to Dharwad.
Tata officials have visited two
sites near Dharwad which is likely to be offered for the project. While one site
is about 800 acre, the other is 1,000 acre and the state government
has another 500 acre in its possession, which can be made available for the
Nano project immediately.
Meanwhile, the West Bengal government
has extended the deadline for receiving applications from farmers in Singur who
wish to accept their compensation cheques in lieu of land acquired from them for
the Tata small car project. The earlier deadline expired on 22 September 2008.
