Industry secretary Sabyasachi Sen told PTI that the Land and Land Reforms department had already acquired 1,000 acres and has ordered WBIDC to take possession of it.
He said that WBIDC would now apply for mutation after which it would be given to Tata Motors.
Asked whether the state government would be able to meet the deadline set by the Tatas, Sen replied in the affirmative.
Tata Motors is planning to roll out the Rs 1 lakh car from the plant to come up at Singur by the middle of 2008. (PTI)
