Tata said the move has been prompted after taking into account issues such as well-being of its employees at the project and safety of contractors as well as that of its vendors.
On the future association of Tatas with the state, he said the group already has considerable presence here and it has not lost enthusiasm in future investment.
"I hope West Bengal prosper in the future. In the future we will be here again. We don't believe that we have lost our enthusiasm in investing in West Bengal and assure that we will invest in the state for new projects," he said.
Tata said the pull-out decision would have no bearing on group's future investments in the state.
