TATA are one of those conglomerates, like Daewoo, that do just about everything.

Tetley Tea, Chorus Steel, Relience Communications, and vehicles.

I would hope their investment in Land Rover and Jaguar would be so that they can learn from their production processes and quality and brign their exisiting operations up to that standard, as opposed to the other way round.

But I can't help but fear that you will see most of the components used to build Jags and Land Rovers sourced from India.

They will probably still assemble them in the UK, but I fear this will be bad for UK component suppliers to Jaguar and Land Rover.
