Tata has suspended work on the Nano, the world’s cheapest car, triggering speculation that the S$3,200 vehicle could be delayed or even scrapped.

The company has halted work on its partially built Nano factory in Singur, West Bengal, due to the continuation of protests at the site.

Construction workers at the site have been besieged for two weeks by activists who claim poor farmers have been forcibly evicted.

In a statement, Tata said: “The company is evaluating alternate options for manufacturing the Nano car at other company facilities and a detailed plan to relocate the plant and machinery to an alternate site is under preparation.”

The car was originally scheduled for launch next month, but relocation would delay that for at least a year.
