Shah went on to say that they are ready to send a delegation of captains of major industries of the state to convince Tata Motors to set up the plant in Gujarat.
"If the need arises 11 captains of the Gujarat industry can convince the Tata group on how advantageous and conducive the industrial environment could be for them," he added.
"Setting up the Nano plant in Gujarat is extremely advantageous for the group because of two reasons.
Firstly, nearly 50 per cent of the car parts are produced in Rajkot, and secondly the extensive coastline of the state is just perfect for exports," Shah said.
