toyota the biggest car manufacturer in the world produces 1million cars in 250 Acres of land in US which has 5 times more land. why tata need 900 acres when they are going to produce only less than 200,000 cars a year. total car sales of tata all over india is less than 100000. why they need this big land and what is the motive behind it. politicians and tata nexus . this is not the old tata who is patriot to give away to india., it a corporate. let the farmer willngly decide, if 50% farmers give the land tata can get 400 acres which more than enough to produce 1 million car. why no activists is going court by reseraching this facts

toyota the biggest car manufacturer in the world produces 1million cars in 250 .........
Guys we are missing the whole point here. The base model of Toyota Corolla in US costs more than $17,000(more than 7 lakhs rupees) and in India its more than 10 lakhs. But whats the cost of TATA's car???? Yes its 1 lakh. Pricing a mid-size car in India at 1lakh is absurd. Now TATA's are not insane that they are going to invest the remaining money from their pocket. So what they are planning is building a global infrastructure in one place including the plant itself, all kind of subordinate plants(like car seat, belt, %u2026%u2026.) and also housing for its employees and thereby saving the cost and making up for the extra bucks.

There is a small error in the way you projected the project. We don't know what is TATA's intention, how they market their product. By assuming this & that we cannot come to a conclusion. Of course, Everybody will operate on profit, it is in their effective marketing skills. We should appreciate their strategy which build wealth for our people & boost the economy. Be happy like me.

We don't have that much robotic facilities like toyota. Also, we need to give lot of people job. If we put robots, how these so called farmers will get jobs.
Well said Rajesh Bhaskar. Tata is clearly playing the game of corporate criminals - It was funny when Tata appeared on interview for cnn-ibn and talked about corporate responsibility when he is involved in such a crime against poor farmers of Singur.
Mr. Hello, please don't use loose words like Robotic facilitis & stuff. Car making is not toy making and there isn't much difference is manufacturing facilities of both campanies, it is only difference is the BIG greed of TATA.
He is also stealthly siding with DOW chemicals, criminals behind Bhopal Gas tragedy, and get them a back door access to India's market.
When are they gonna have some love for their own country & countrymen before profits?

Car making is not like Bhopal gas plant. There is not much dangers like a Bhopal Gas Plant.

hey prem kumar, i completely agree with "hello". The person has made a valid point. Toyota has a highly streamlined way of manufacturing cars. TATAs do not have that technical capability.
thats why its not surprising at all that they need more land than what TOYOTA needs. and I am telling you this because I have visited the TATA plants.
Also, people at Singur are fools that they r rejecting the TATAs. Look at JAMSHEDPUR. What a world class standadr of living TATAs provide to the residents of this city. A city that was a part of earstwhile Bihar, can boast of international standard living. Seeems people at Singur have not seen all that. OR miss MAmta does not want them to know.

Who are staying in Jamshedpur. Original people before jamshedpur was there or people from all over india. Issue is once land from these folks is taken, they have to do jobs which is not gaurenteed.
Tommarow, if someone walks in your house and tells sell me your house for 10000 Rs. Be my chaukidar and your wife will was my cloths will you take it. Its same issue with farmers. Be fair to them.

Now understood one thing, it is given market value. First understand what is market value then talk like 10,000 etc.
