Tatas should have avoided this controversy by buying the land in the normal ordinary way that everyone else does. By resorting to expropriation they have needlessly created a political flare-up in a state known for populist political grandstanding. They should learn a lesson from this for the next time. Next time, buy the land at market price, in the normal way. Forget about expropriation, just for a factory. Expropriation is for building highways, dams, or other publically-owned infrastructure for the common public benefit and development. It shouldn't be used for some private commercial house as a shortcut.
