UK NRI, Mr Swraj Paul's Caparo Group, a key vendor for Tata Motors' Nano project, is setting up a Rs 120-crore facility at Singur to supply sheet metal and vehicle frames for the world's cheapest car.

Considering the fact that Nano was the world's cheapest car, Mr Paul said if there was no profit, he “would not go into a project.” While there was always a battle of margins with customers, “as a CEO, I have to increase the companies' sales 10-fold and enhance margins.”

He said while the Tatas had initial plan to make 2,50,000 cars a year, they may ramp up the capacity to go up to a million. “This car can sell in seven figures in India alone.”
