Bangalore: The state government has offered a red carpet welcome to the Tatas for their Nano project.
    A team from Tata company will meet chief minister B S Yeddyurappa on Thursday to discuss on possibility of setting up a Nano car manufacturing unit in the state.
    Expressing confidence that the government will succeed in impressing the Tatas to set up a unit here, large and medium industries minister Murugesh R Nirani told TOI that a team led by Ravi Kant, MD, Tata Motors Ltd, will be meeting the CM.
    Ever since the Nano car project is hanging fire at Singur in West Bengal due to political unrest, Karnataka evinced interest in inviting the Tatas to set up the car’s manufacturing unit in the state. The move was also passed in the cabinet recently, where the government announced that it would welcome the Tatas and offer them land, besides all possible help.
    The Tatas have 900 acres of land at Belur industrial area in Dharwad (North Karnataka), 450 km from Bangalore, where they have established two projects — Telco Construction Equipment Company (Telcon), the joint venture between Tata Group and Hitachi of Japan; and a proposed a car-manufacturing unit by Tata Motors.
    Nirani said: “We are ready to offer them all possible help, if they decide to come here. They already have 900 acres of land and we are willing to offer them more if required
