In Jamshedpur, the company has 822 acres of land for manufacturing trucks and 1,000 acres at Pantnagar for making its minitruck, Ace. Vendors for the vehicle are making additional investments to set up their plants in the park adjoining the plant.
The Pune unit, where it makes cars and commercial vehicles, is spread over two geographical regions - Pimpri (800 acre) and Chinchwad (130 acre). The plant in Lucknow is manufacturing trucks. In Dharwad, the company is building a bus-making unit over 900 acres of land.
The best option obviously is political diplomacy. The Tatas would have to initiate fresh talks with the Trinamul Congress led by Mamata Banerjee and address her concerns.
"If giving back the 400 acre land as demanded by Banerjee can solve the problem, the Tatas could start initial production on the remaining 597 acres and wait for the political storm to blow over," an analyst said.
