Nano vendors will shift to Sanand by March

A company spokesperson confirmed the production planning was on schedule and the rollout is on track. Sanand is about 35 km from Ahmedabad.

Rajkot-based Amul Industries, exclusive suppliers of connecting rods and crankshafts for the Nano, said the company was in the process of shifting its machinery parts from Rajkot to Sanand.

"We plan to invest around Rs 15 crore in the Sanand vendor park," said S Santoki, managing director. He added that the company had now scaled up procurement of parts, after some variation last year.
