Tata
I know the Tata family. They planned to build 500 Mercedes Benz cars under license in their factory in India/ the plan was to build a luxury car there to avoid the punitive import duties. The cars took quite some time to build with the longest delay caused by them achieving the paint specs laid down by the Mercedes QC dept. Eventually the cars were built and were as good as anything built in the Fatherland. Due to import barriers being relaxed and Mercededs changing the body shapes among other things, the plan to build the cars was put on hold. BMW though have built a factory. So to suggest that the technology of the Jaguar and Land Rover is being given to India is not the case. Tata employ around 250,000 people worlwide and are diverse in their portfolio. Although India based the Tatas have origins in what was Persia with some Swiss mixed in. A very honourable company.
