People, Let us be objective here. Kerala 'has' 4 airports (including the forthcoming Kannur). Is developing two world class sea ports (Vallarpadam and Vizhniham). Is developing the waterways to western standards. Is planning a 6 lane expressway as a backbone from north to south.
If TATA is making Nano anywhere in Kerala it can be transported to anywhere in the world with least investment. No other place can compete or offer any better logistics!!
So, the best place for NANO is Kerala (preferably, North Malabar)

Kerala is another Bengal. Regular strikes by unions is a day-to-day affir. Tata will now never build a plant in a commie ruled state.

You right Mr.cool To unload one truk material of 8MT they'll charge not less than 5000INR, whre as in other states it can be done below 1000INR. Kerala is full of unions, No tangable conditions

That is called UNDER PAYING of WAGES. You cannot exploit workers. That is why there is MINIMUM WAGE in commie hating western countries.

Dear Anil, Seems you want TATA to loose all by investing in Kerala. With your stat, I can challenge you that more than this, Tamil Nadu is the best investment detination with Chennai is the best automobile place in India. Airports are not only the deciding factor but the labour issues and non govt'al interferance,best avilable infracture and others. Please do have some thoughts.
