Big Protests over Tata’s Little Nano

by Jean Mercedes on August 26th, 2008

Tata, the Indian car manufacturer which purchased British Jaguar this year, continues to face protests at its manufacturing plant in Singur, West-Bengal (a state in eastern India). Controversy began when the government purchased farmland for the plant in support of the new micro-car, the Nano. The Nano will start at $2300 to make purchasing a car affordable to the growing middle class in India. The protesters continue to threaten workers at the plant. Ratan Tata, CEO, is considering moving the plant.
