Turkey keen to have Nano production facility, in talks with Tata
MUMBAI: Turkey wants Indian conglomerate the Tata group to consider setting-up a manufacturing plant for its Nano car to cater to demand for small cars in the European market, a senior Turkish diplomat said on Wednesday.
"To market the Nano in Europe is a very good idea if they (Tata group) choose Turkey to make the vehicle," the Turkish Ambassador to India, Levent Bilman told PTI.
Tata Motors has plans to introduce its cheapest car in the European market by 2012.
"Tatas are already in the Turkish market. My impression is that they are examining the market a little further in order to see if Turkey is a good place for establishing a production facility. And this is what we want," Bilman said.
The Turkish market itself, for small, cost-efficient cars was very big, he said, adding the Nano type of cars were the cars of the future.
"All Turks would like to buy a car. Moreover, Turkey is the gateway to Europe, the Middle-East and central Asia. So, it is not only Turkey, it is beyond Turkey," the Turkish diplomat said.
Tata Motors is still studying the prospects of the market, Billman said, adding that he had already held some discussions with the Ratan Tata-led company on the issue.
"We had some discussions. I think they are examining the market. These are big investments. I don't know if they have taken any decision yet," Billman said.
