Keeping his word, Tata inaugurated the Rs 350-crore hospital, meant to treat and rehabilitate cancer patients. Even after the Nano factory had to be shifted from Singur to Sanand in Gujarat, Tata had repeatedly said that his love for the people of Bengal remains intact and that all other group projects would go on and be finished on time.

Tata cut the ribbon at the out patients' department in the evening and stayed clear from making any statements to the media.
