Bajaj Auto is planning to set up its fourth and largest plant near the Mundra port in Gujarat. The plant will also manufacture the long-awaited passenger car the company is developing with Nissan-Renault. The five million unit per annum plant will initially require an investment of over Rs 1,000 crore. Bajaj plans to export at least 60 per cent production from there. The company is already looking for land. Bajaj Auto’s move to look outside Maharashtra, its base, comes after a 15-month dispute with the state government, which has held back its Rs 1,100-crore sales tax refund from April 2010.
Instead, last week, the government slapped a Rs 600-crore notice on the company for non-payment of sales tax for 2009-10. Bajaj Auto, which started in Maharashtra 50 years ago, can make 3.5 million two- and three-wheelers at its plants in Chakan and Aurangabad. Its unit in Pantnagar in Uttarakhand can make 1.5 million vehicles.Bajaj Auto is the third large automobile company that is upbeat on Gujarat. Tata Motors already makes Nano in Sanand. Maruti Suzuki is looking at the state for its foray outside north India. Ford India has kept the state in its shortlist for expanding outside south India.crackcrack
