Tata asked to accept revised proposal or risk JLR plan

20 Jul 2009 Evaluate

The UK government has asked the Tata group to accept a revised proposal to guarantee hundreds of millions of pounds of short-term funding for luxury brands Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) or risk the plan being taken off, The Telegraph said in a report published online on Saturday. The warning is understood to have been delivered by Lord Mandelson to Tata Motors in recent days following a fresh funding proposal that was made by the government earlier this month.

 

According to the report, at stake is a government guarantee for €340 million (around Rs 2,335.8 crore) of European Investment Bank loans. A separate short-term commercial loan of up to £200 million (around Rs 1,588 crore) is also understood to being negotiated by the company before a longer-term financing structure is established.

 

Deal proposed by the UK government is understood to have removed a contentious condition contained in the original offer to which Tata objected, that would have given the taxpayer a board representation at JLR. However, it includes a commitment that Tata would not be able to alter the business plan without the approval of ministers. At present, it is unclear, whether the new terms are acceptable to Tata or not.
