Ahmedabad: With the Tata Motors announcement to exit Singur, the Gujarat Inc is keeping its fingers crossed that the state might bag the multi-crore project.
"The state has offered three strategic locations to Tata Motors, for setting up the Nano plant in Gujarat," says President of Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) Rupesh Shah.
"The three strategic locations offered to the Tata group for setting up Nano plant here are Mundra in Kutch district, Charodi in Sanand taluka of Ahmedabad district and one location in Surat district," Shah told PTI.
"We are keeping our fingers crossed on the issue," Shah said.
Though the state government is tight-lipped on the issue, sources said that they have adopted back-channel methods to woo Tata motors to start a plant in the state.
"There is nothing happening now on the issue of Nano," State Chief Secretary D Rajgopalan said.
While making announcement to quit Singur, Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata this evening said in Kolkata, "we are exploring offers from three to four states".
Shah went on to say that they are ready to send a delegation of captains of major industries of the state to convince Tata Motors to set up the plant in Gujarat.
"If the need arises 11 captains of the Gujarat industry can convince the Tata group on how advantageous and conducive the industrial environment could be for them here," he added.
