Tata Motors is in for yet another debacle. The Gujarat High Court has directed the state government to produce documents of acquisition of land in Sanand, alloted to Tatas for the Nano car project. The farmers in Sanand, the site of the Nano project in Gujarat, have filed a case against the Gujarat government and Tata motors, seeking greater compensation for their land.

Yatin Oza, advocate for the petitioners, said, "The land is undisputedly owned by the farmers. They had given it on lease to the government for 99 years, which are over. We have documents to prove this before the court. We are not coming in the way of the project, but the project cannot proceed unless compensation at the rate of Rs 950 per metre is paid to the farmers.” In October this year, Narendra Modi's government had handed over 1100 acres of land to Tata to relocate its Nano plant.
 
At that time, Modi had said that the land belonged to the state government that had been acquired in the past for industrial use.
 
Tata Motors has refused to comment as land acquisition and allotment is a state subject and the Modi government must clarify it, not Tata, since the company did not independently acquire the land.
 
Meanwhile, it seems the Nano project is in for another delay.
