Caparo likes the opposites. After building the supercar T1, the British company will build the body structure for the cheapest car in the world, the Tata Nano.
Selected inner structural panels will be pressed and assembled by Caparo at a new facility in Singur which will supply 60 per cent of these assemblies, with the rest being manufactured in-house by Tata. To meet Tata’s ambitious cost targets, Caparo has installed a new semi-automated production line with zero fault forward quality control systems.
“The body technology is relatively conventional, but the manufacturing technology is the result of very sophisticated analysis to ensure high-quality, low-cost production. We completed this extremely quickly to meet our customer’s deadline, with start of production just six months after the contract was confirmed, ” said Caparo Group CEO Angad Paul.
