Tata Motors had earlier indicated that it was planning to set up assembly plants in Dharwad in north Karnataka and a few other cities for Nano small car, but no decision has been taken so far in this regard.

The company has about 900 acres of land in Dharwad where it has a manufacturing base for low-floor buses in collaboration with Marcopolo S.A. of Brazil. These buses are expected to be launched some time next month in Karnataka.
