Tata Closing India Plant

Tata Motors has suspended work indefinitely at a factory building the world’s cheapest car following increasingly violent protests by farmers demanding the return of their land.No one has reported to work at the factory since Friday, and some international staffers have gone home.The world’s poor are against one of India’s richest men, Ratan Tata, who wants to build a $2,500, car, the Nano is trying to enter the super-economy market.But several hundred local farmers have protested Tata for several years, complaining about the price they were paid for their land. They have blocked roads and prevented employees from leaving on several occasions. Tata has poured $350 million into its plant in Singur,and 60 suppliers have also invested millions of dollars more for plants and equipment in the area. Tata has trained more than 700 employees for the factory.My first thought is that I have seen the Indian police force in action and I cannot imagine how they would have problems with a few farmers or after a $350 million investment go hire a police force to help finish the factory. Or is the decision bases on the economy among other factors that the car probably won’t sell so cut your losses early.I don’t think I would drive a car that was manufactured for $2500 on today’s roads I think you would be better off with a Gem car.
