Re: Jaguar Land Rover inaugurates its first overseas manufacturing facility in China
I am sorry but excuse me for saying this, your 1: comment above projects India as the least favorable nation for foreign auto brands. Anyway its your view. I feel more than anything, the reason for which foreign auto brands have entered India is simply because they know India is a very viable and strong market for them. They definitely appreciate the policies of Indian government which gives them the much needed support for expansion and building infrastructure here.
If I go by your import law theory then, why did many brands started to provide spares of their cars from India only instead of importing? Before you ask anything, there are brands who are not importing the parts in India for their cars rather they are giving the Indian market the spares that are also manufactured in their plants only just because they don't want to loose on a lucrative market like India.
PS: Kindly understand, neither me nor you have even 1% of knowledge that Mr. TATA has. He is in the business since the time we were not even born. Please frame your statements based on reason of a decision. We can't question or raise finger on the loyalty and acumen of a person like Mr. Ratan Tata on a respected forum like TAI without knowing the background.

I can. And I will.
1: My comment projects no such thing. Its your mis-understanding and delibrate twisting of my words in furtherance of your hidden and vested interests.
2: I believe you are talking about CKDs. The fact about CKDs is that even if they are assembled here, they actually hire people from India. So some people get employment. And they also pay duty.
PS: Since this is an auto forum it may be prudent for you to pick and choose words nicely and to use the correct terminology.
3: Incase you dont have the habit of reading a newspaper, let me update you with a recent development.
HMSI has said that they wil make their 650cc bike here in India (yes make, not assemble) instead of thailand, because they are massively impressed by the benifits offered by our honourable Prime Minister Mr. Modi.
And then(the much hyped) Tata comes along and abandons his own country.
