Land Rover to be built in India says Tata CEO

Tata might be most famous for building the world's least-expensive car, the $2500 Nano, but the Indian company bought Jaguar Land Rover from Ford in 2008 and has been running the two brands since.  Tata already sells Land Rovers in India, and according to Tata CEO Carl-Peter Forster, Tata CEO, the company will put an unspecified number of Land Rovers into production in India as early as next year.


Forster didn't reveal which models would be produced there.

In addition to beginning production in India, Forster hinted that production of  Jaguar and Land Rover models could begin in China.
