Here's what he said:

If a Left government comes to power in West Bengal, we will once again create industries in Bengal. We are determined to implement the Singur project, the dream of respected Ratan Tata! (Chairman, Tata Group)

Is the claim true?: No, the claim is false as we found no evidence to prove that N Chandrasekaran made such a statement.

What we found: At first, we ran a relevant keyword search to check if Chandrasekaran had made any public statements regarding industrialisation in Singur. However, we did not find any official reports or press notes to prove the same.

• Additionally, reports from 2025 by Money Control and the Times of India noted that Chandrasekaran met Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the state secretariat, Nabanna.

• The meeting signalled that the Tata Group may return to West Bengal’s industrial landscape after 17 years.

Here is a preview of the report.

Conclusion: The viral statement falsely attributed to Chandrasekaran is fake and not a real incident.
