After a long stint, Tata and Proton is at the table again to discuss possible collaboration to introduce Nano in Malayasia. “Mr (Ratan) Tata is keen to work with Proton again. About seven or eight years ago there were some joint discussions to manufacture cars but nothing came out of it. “Now our automotive policy is more liberal and there are new opportunities. “So we need to study if we can bring in this type of car (Nano) into Malaysia or work with Proton to produce the people’s car,” Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin Malaysia said.
Remember, Proton has been scouting for partners in India to introduces its cars – saga and persona in India. Proton has held talks with Tata, Mahindra and BVR subbu group. If this tie-up fructifies, this would be win-win situation for both Tata and Proton to find new customer base.
