Suprajit had bagged Rs.40 Cr contract for Tata Nano in 2010, beating 5 other competitors.
Accordingly it bought land in Sanand to supply to Tata Nano factory.
However, Tata Nano did not scale up, and Suprajit simply supplied from its plant in Vapi.
Finally, in 2015-16 the company made its factory in Sanand, to cater to its own needs.

Suprajit is run by its founder Shri K. Ajith Kumar Rai whose maximum remuneration is from commision of profits. As company scales up, he is reducing his commision% from Net Profit.
