KOLKATA, Oct 3 (Reuters) - India's Tata Motors Ltd <TAMO.BO> will pull out of West Bengal state, where violent protests against a factory for its low-cost Nano car had forced it to stop construction work last month, television channels said on Friday.

While three channels did not give sources for their stories, business channel CNBC-TV18 quoted unnamed officials in the state government.

A spokesman for Tata Motors declined comment.

Tata Motors, the country's top vehicle maker, had started looking for alternate locations to build the Nano, which it said will be launched around October, and which is expected to be priced at just above 100,000 rupees ($2,132). ($1=46.9 rupees) (Editing by Mark Williams)
