Tata Motors promise 12,000 jobs in Singur

Indian industrial giant Tata has said that their community development work in Singur would generate jobs for as many as 12000 individuals in the region.

This was announced by Tata Motors managing director Ravi Kant who was touring their upcoming plant in the region.

The company is working on their Rs. 1 lakh car which would be manufactured at this plant in the West Bengal.

Tata Motors said in a note sent to Congress MLA Sudip Bandopadhyay: “The Singur plant will initially directly employ 2,000 people and is expected to create employment for 10,000 people among vendors and service providers in the vicinity of the plant.’’

Bandopadhyay responded in a statement: “We are impressed by the sort of work the Tatas have done for the uplift of people living in places around their factory. They want to do similar work in Singur. However, we told them that real estate business should not be done on land that would not be required for the car plant and they agreed to it. We also asked them to ensure that farmers are compensated in the best manner possible.”
