JLR to come to India
Tata Motors is finalizing plans to bring Land Rover to India in a big way, and also looking at the possibility of selling Jaguar CBUs here, albeit on a smaller scale. ‘Land Rover is already present in India in a small way. We understand from our colleagues in Jaguar Land Rover [JLR] that they are looking at expanding Land Rover’s footprint in the Indian market in a fairly aggressive manner in the near future,’ says Rajiv Dube, President - Passenger Cars, Tata Motors.
Earlier this year, Tata Motors had acquired Jaguar and Land Rover at a cost of over US$2 billion. Land Rover has dealerships in Mumbai and Gurgaon, and Tata Motors sees a growing market for Land Rover SUVs in the country. It also sees sales potential for Jaguar’s luxury cars in India, though probably on a smaller scale than Land Rover.
In the meanwhile, Tata Motors is also preparing to launch its next-generation Indigo and its Safari-Sumo crossover - the Xover - which was first shown at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. However, no time-frame has yet been announced for these new launches.
