The all means of Nano vendors, presently doing a good job to Tata, are making their new location in Sanand by next March. Till then they will be in the present locations, said the company. Sanand is located 35km from Ahmedabad and the main supplier for Nano, Amul Industries (rods and crankshafts) is migrating to Sanand from Rajkot. The new initiative will cost Rs15 crore for Amul which has stabilised its supply ratio. Soon other suppliers like Bosch (for brake solutions, fuel injection, the electronic control unit, starter motor and generator) would continue to feed Nano at Sanand. In addition, Bosch is making the brake assembly unit in Sanand as its fuel injection system unit is to function in Bangalore. Exide battery, which supplies for Nano, is to continue from Singur till the need arises to stand beside with the volume of Nano increasing.
The vendor-park sparked furore following the agitation by the people in Singur, West Bengal forcing Tata to withdraw its project. Now the move is to balance the logistics cost to keep the car cost on par with the fixed one. The proposed unit in Sanand is set to manufacture 350000 cars a year under expansion phases. The vendors are at wait to receive the delivery at the production site.
