The Punjab government is planning to woo TATA project for the state. It has decided to invite TATA group chairman to consider Punjab for the proposed TATA car project.

It is pertinent to note that TATA is facing many problems in West Bangal. It is planning to shift the Nano car project to the alternate place in the country. TATA is also facing political problems from Chief Mamata Banergee and regional parties.

Punjab Industry Minister Manoranjan Kalia said that the state has written a letter to TATA to invite it for small car project in the state. The state has assured all sorts of help for successful completion of this project. The government has invited a special delegation from TATA group to further discuss the project.

TATA has earlier planned to set up this project in the state. TATA group chairman Ratan Tata had held a meeting with former chief minister Amarinder Singh and his Cabinet colleagues for small car project issue.

Several other states such as Himachal Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh have also invited TATA for this small car project.
