The Singur land is up for takes after the withdrawal of Tata Motors. However, the State Commerce and Industry Secretary Sabyasachi Sen has urged the need to set up alternate industry in the land after acquiring it back from the Tata group. Mr. Sen also stated that if Tata's would like to set up any industry, they were welcome to do so. 

Also new investment for the 997 acres shall pour in only once the land is returned to the government. To quote Sen "So far no fresh proposal has come for the Singur land".

He also hinted that their was a proposal to set up an industrial park or light engineering units which might accommodate 400 acres of land. But so far nothing is certain. He did make it clear that the land will be used to set up industry and generate employment and economic development of the area and will not be returned to the land owners.

The Trinamool Congress which had agitated and led a protest which drove the Tata's out of West Bengal is demanding that the land be returned to the land owners. Responding to the statement that the land shall not be returned to the farmers, the leader of the Trinamool Congress, Mamata Banerjee stated, "The CPM cannot carry on its Zamindari.They Have to first return the land and then a global tender should be floated inviting industries. Only then can another industry come up in the area."

She also demanded the return of Rs 200 crore which had been loaned to the Tata as soon as possible. But the CPM district secretariat is supportive of the governments' plans. District Committee member Bolai Sabui said "Tatas will not return to Singur. It is better to find other industrial house, which will be keen to set up an industry on that site."
