Tata Motors acquired Jaguar Land Rover from Ford in 2008 for $2.3 billion. This was a major acquisition for Tata that helped them expand globally. Post acquisition, Tata Motors implemented several cost cutting measures at JLR's UK plants to improve cash flows, including reducing production shifts, extending supplier payment terms, and offering voluntary retirement to some employees. Going forward, Tata Motors plans to grow JLR's business through new product development, expanding into new markets like China, and increasing marketing and dealerships globally to better compete with other luxury brands.
