The Northcot Farm here is abuzz with activities as Tata Motors has begun the construction work for relocation of its mother plant of Nano car from Singur in West Bengal.    

A visit to the plant site reveals that pillars for the construction of plant's boundary wall have been fixed and hectic preparations are underway to build the main plant building.    

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on October 7 for relocation of the Rs 2,000 crore mother plant.    

Hectic activity was witnessed at the Nano plant site today as several teams of architects, engineers and contractors continued with their site inspection and masonry related jobs, respectively.    

The work of laying underground cables for broadband connectivity was also in progress near the site.    

The roads leading to Northcot Farm had many roadside boards welcoming Nano to its new home. The state government has also initiated survey of widening of roads leading to the site from Sanand-Viramgam Highway.    

Tata Motors has roped in its leading private shareholder, Shapoorji Pallonji & Com (SPCL) for construction of the Nano plant on 1,100 acres of land, which once belonged to Anand Agiculture University.    

"Nano car plant construction project work at Sanand is with us," SPCL officials confirmed.
