TATA Motors may set up auto plant in Kutch
Exim News Service reported that TATA Motors is looking at a location near Mundra port to set up an automobile manufacturing unit and has held preliminary discussions in this regard with the Adani Group. As per report, Mr Ravi Kant MD of TATA Motors, accompanied by senior officials, inspected the facilities available at Mundra for the automobile project.
The location of the car project is expected to be close to the site where TATA Power would be setting up a 4,000 MW ultra mega power project. But it is not clear yet if Gujarat will become another base apart from Singur in West Bengal for TATAs’ small car project or a 2nd manufacturing base for the TATAs’ automobile unit near Pune.
TATA motors officials are believed to have discussed with the Adani Group the possibility of roll on roll off ships calling at the Port. Roll on roll off ships are designed to carry wheeled cargo such as automobiles, trailers or railway carriages. These vessels have built in ramps, which allow the cargo to be efficiently rolled on and rolled off the vessel when in port.
