New Delhi - India's Tata Motors announced Friday that it was scrapping plans to manufacture the world's cheapest car, the Nano, in the eastern India state of West Bengal because of continuing protests over farmland acquired for its plant.

Tata group chairman Ratan Tata told reporters in the state capital Kolkata that the company feared for the well-being and safety of its employees.

The cash crunch and the ‘shraadh’ season has hit the automobile sales especially the four-wheel segment though there had been marginal silver line in the sales outcome of two wheelers. 

The degrowth of its largest A2 segment of Zen Estilo, Swift, WagonR, and Alto hit 1.29% dip in sales but, surprisingly, the people’s car, Maruti800 took the biggest brunt by 33.6% drop in sales to 3,467 units only.

Kolkata, Oct 3: Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata will meet West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee here today to discuss the company's 'Nano' car project in Singur which has run into rough weather after strong resistance from the Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress over farmland acquisition issue.

According to sources, the meeting is scheduled to be held in the afternoon at the Writers' Buildings.

Work on the Tata's 'Nano' project has been suspended for nearly a month because of the protest by the Trinamool Congress.
