Tata wants to separate itself from Jaguar

Tata might be in talks with Ford for acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover but Tata wants Jaguar to be managed under a different label altogether, say industry sources. This precaution is taken so that the Jaguar losses don’t rub on to Tata Motors.

Jaguar and Land Rover’s union Unite may not support this decision though. The talk between Tata and Unite against outsourcing of production still needs to be held. The Ford and Tata officials refused to comment on this issue. While Ford spokesperson said, “This is just speculation. We have said all along that we are selling combined Jaguar Land Rover business. I can’t provide any further details on the ongoing discussions.” Tata’s spokesperson said, “Tata Motors does not comment on speculation. The company is engaged in focused and detailed negotiations with Ford and pleased with the progress.”
