i hope the government reduces the tax on LR and the jag to atleast 60% considering ts now owned by an india based company
this way tata might make profits atleast in india
face it why would one opt for a cayene,X5,Q7 if range rover comes for the same price?
so this was practically we'll be importing cars from our own country 
and if taxes are reduced india will be the only contry in the world where the jaguar sales will beat all the german marks |
That sounds like a WTO case in the making.
And if the duties are reduced equally for all manufacturers, Jaguar/LR won't have any better luck. Why do you think they aren't competeing here
already, billion-people-superpower-economy and all?
Better would be for Tata to manufacture at least one high volume Jaguar platform from India (after 12-18 months), while keeping the rest in Britainistan.
And the reason to do that should be to cut manufacturing costs and increase proftability per unit, plus leverage better terms from the firangi workforce.
Not domestic sales...
