JAGUAR OVERVIEW
JLR was a part of Ford's Premier Automotive Group (PAG) and were considered to be British icons. Jaguar was involved in the manufacture of high-end luxury cars Jaguar Cars Ltd. ( better known simply as Jaguar) is an automaker from England, United Kingdom that manufactures luxury and executive motor car. Sir William Lyons founded jaguar as the Swallow Sidecar Company in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before switching to passenger cars. The name was changed to Jaguar after the second world war due to the unfavorable connotations of the SS initials.
Reports said losses at Jaguar stood at USD 715 million in 2006. Jaguar was not able to provide any profit for ford because of the high manufacturing costs provided in the United Kingdom. The strong boy Land Rover's profit, on the other hand, was driven by the record sale of 2.26 lakh vehicles, an 18% YoY growth in 2007. Ford was combining both the brands since the products and manufacturing of vehicles for Land Rover and Jaguar was so intertwined.

Tata wanted to make a global impact and it thinks that buying these brands at a lower rate now, will give better value later on. This acquisition also eases the entry of Tata in European market which it has been eyeing for long. Reduce the company dependence on the Indian market which accounted for 90% of its sales Opportunity to spread its business across different customer segment At the price staring from 63 lakh and going upto 93 lakh, it seems Tata has just got the right place to compete with the current market leaders in luxury brands BMW, Audi, Mercedes Publicity on an international scale Access to large distribution network JLR had many new models lined up for next 3 years, so no much work just profits Strong R & D culture and facilities

Relaxed govt. norms Enough knowledge of Indian market for honda Indian 2 wheeler market soon to grow in double digits and carrying a partner could be a burden Honda would want to go on its own because the 9.3-million two-wheeler market will grow to 16 million by 2015 A minority stake in Hero Honda also yields limited profits for Honda compared with a fully consolidated 100 percent unit.
To buy out Hondas 26 per cent share, first Hero has to find bankers who can finance this deal worth Rs 9,300 crore. Then it will create a special purpose vehicle (SPV), where shares will be sold to investors, who will indirectly get dividends from Hero Motors, once it uses the funds to pay back the loans. These investors will get board seats in return. All the dividends will then be paid to these investors and will flow into the SPV.
The Hero group to lose market share, currently around 40-50 percent, in the long term as Honda becomes more aggressive. A rise in royalty payments, would hit profits at Hero Honda ( currently at around 2-3 percent of sales) The Hero Honda brand name will be changed over time the company can now establish distribution networks across the globe. It would take time for Hero to develop its own technological capabilities, and it remains to be seen whether the partners' technology licensing would continue through 2014 as agreed under the current contract. For Honda, with a wholly owned unit already in place and expanding fast, a pull-out from the joint venture would be positive for its growth over the long term, although it would have to make sure its sales network is sufficiently robust to compete with Hero
