It is also their newest car manufacturing facility and manufactures popular hatchbacks like Tata Tiago and Tata Tigor. Initially it was started to manufacture the Tata Nano, but now it manufactures other hatchbacks like Tata Tiago and Tata Tigor.

The manufacturing plant is spread over 1100 acres. It started as a single model plant in 2010 for manufacturing only the Tata Nano, and has gradually emerged to produce multiple models with a flexible assembly line. Today, the plant manufactures popular Tiago & Tigor models.[4]
This plant played an important role in the development of the automobile industry in the state of Gujarat.
