Big Protests over Tata’s Little Nano

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.
