Tata Motors' Jaguar and Land Rover unit is in talks with top Chinese sport utility vehicle
maker Great Wall Motor Co about a potential China tie-up, two executives told Reuters on
Monday.

"The two companies are exploring opportunities for a cooperative effort. Senior executives of
Jaguar and Land Rover came over and visited our plant earlier this month," a Great Wall
executive said.
"It's fair to say that contacts between the two parties have already passed the initial stage, but
no final decision has been reached so far," a second executive with direct knowledge of the
talks told Reuters.

Great Wall chairman Wei Jianjun met with Jaguar and Land Rover's senior executives during
their China tour, said the second executive.

is a Chinese automobile manufacturer formed in 1976.
The company is named after the Great Wall of China. As of 2010, it is China's largest SUV
maker.

Current (2010) production capacity is estimated at 500,000 units/year, but 2010 sales fell
short at less than 400,000 and exports remained a small portion of that figure at little more
than 50,000 -- same as in 2009.

In 2010 the Great Wall Halal H series was the 2nd most-purchased SUV in China. This
model may technically comprise two very distinct models, the Great Wall Haval H3 and the
Great Wall Haval H5.

Tata Motors is firming up plans to ramp-up production of Aria on the back of strong sales of
the crossover utility vehicle.

SG Saxena, head, utility vehicles, Tata Motors, said: "The response to Aria has been very
good. Aria has become the second-highest selling car in the Utility Vehicle category, which
has about 15 other players."

Aria, at present, has a 14 per cent share in the UV segment, clocking in sales of 225-250 units
a month. Toyota's Fortuner leads the category with 57 per cent market share. Since its launch
in August 2009, Toyota has sold 15,000 units of Fortuner.

Tata Motors launched Aria in October last year to regain share in the UV segment, which it
had lost to M&M over the last three years.

Leveraging on the growing popularity of motorsports in India, the country's largest

automobile company, Tata Motors, on Tuesday announced its foray into the world of racing
by launching the 'Tata Motors Full Throttle'.
As part of this new initiative, which works as a platform for steering the company's
participation in motorsports and allied activities, the Tata Motors will field a team of two
Tata Safaris and two Xenon XT cars to participate in the forthcoming 'Desert Storm Rally',
beginning on February 22 from Ahmedabad.

The team from Tata group will later on participate in other motorsports events in India such
as the 'Raid De Himalayas' in their quest to become a regular on the racing circuit.

"With best in class technologies in our product range, we will now be able to showcase these
technologies through Tata Motors' 'Full Throttle'. The platform will help the company in
organising and synergising all efforts and activities in the area of motorsports including
development and testing," said R Ramakrishnan, vice president, Commercial Passenger Car
Business Unit, Tata Motors.

"The participants from Tata Motors in the Desert Storm Rally are all experienced drivers with
enough experience of racing in India behind them. We are confident of a good show in the
rally as well as other racing events to be organised later," Ramakrishnan added.

Tata Motors had earlier participated in several non-competitive international rallies such as
the London Capetown rally in 1998, ASEAN rally in 2005 and the SAARC rally in 2007 with
the Safari sports utility vehicle.

Both the Safari and Xenon cars, a 4x4 lifestyle pickup, have also been driven in various
rallies in the past by independent participants.

"Our participation will also help in better understanding the capabilities of our products (cars)
on display. At the same time, our purpose to get involved with the motorsport events in the
country will also be fulfilled," said S G Saxena, Head, Utility Vehicles, Tata Motors.

Last week, Indian tyre major and a veteran of motorsport field, JK Tyre has announced the
launch of a new racing series -- JK Racing Asia Series -- under the management of
Motorsport Asia, in its bid to take Indian motorsport to the next level.

The races will commence in April at venues in countries like Malaysia, Korea, Indonesia,
Singapore and India. The series will consist of 18 races over six weekends in the 2011
season. On three occasions, the series will support the Formula One Grand Prix in Malaysia,
Singapore and the newly-built Jaypee International circuit in India.

Admitting that its five-year old tie up with Italian car maker Fiat has not yielded desired
results, auto major Tata Motors on Tuesday said it was redrawing its distribution plans to
prop up sales of its Turin-based partner. As part of the plan, Fiat will now have its own
independent brand showroom to showcase products, even as its cars would continue to be
sold through Tata Motors showrooms. The brand showrooms would give Fiat a distinct
identity.

³We are looking at ways to improve the sales numbers. We are not where we want to be (of
Fiat-branded cars). We are redrawing plans to boost its sales,´ said R Ramakrishnan, vice-
president, commercial-passenger car business unit, Tata Motors. ³To improve the image, we
plan to open image brand centres (for Fiat). To begin with, two centres will be opened in
Delhi and Pune.´

For the April-January period of the current fiscal, Fiat India clocked a 14.6% decline in sales
at 17,405 units against the year-ago period. In January, Fiat sold 2,174 units, against 2,215
units a year-ago. Tata Motors on the other hand sold 283,100 units in April-January 2010-11,
a 28% jump over 2009-10, while the firm sold 34,688 units in January, up 11.6% over last
year.

Home grown auto major Tata Motors is poised to overtake Hyundai Motor India, thesecond
largest car maker in the country, with its ultra-cheap car Nano production having gone full
swing at the newly created Sanand facility in Gujarat.

Tata Motors sold 30,212 cars in January in the domestic market, just 100 cars away from
Hyundai¶s 30,306. Nano sales increased by a whopping 68 per cent to 6,703 units in January
after its Sanand facility started producing about 200 cars a day.

At the same time, due to unimpressive sales of Fiat cars with which Tata has a marketing and
distribution joint venture, Tata Motors is looking revamping its strategy with the Italian car
maker. Fiat cars sales fell 15 per cent year-on-year to 17,405 units between April and January
this financial year. ³That (beating Hyundai) is the plan,´ said R Ramakrishnan, vice-president
(commercial) passenger car business unit Tata Motors without giving a timeframe.

Tata Motors rode past Hyundai in monthly sales twice last year in January and June, but the
Pune-based carmaker has not been able to maintain the lead on a sustained basis.

Analysts, however, believe Hyundai stands to be more profitable and also generate greater
revenues in the domestic passenger vehicle business, given that its top selling models Santro,
i10 and i20 are priced above Tata¶s Nano, Indica and Indigo respectively. ³Hyundai¶s product
mix is richer than Tata Motors in the passenger vehicle space as all its products are priced on
the higher side,´ auto analyst at India InfolinePrayesh Jain said.

Hyundai Motor, on the other hand, is more concerned about its market share and customer
satisfaction with its products, rather than ranking. ³Volumes of Nano, which are increasing
on a monthly basis, are µsoon¶ set to reach its monthly capacity of 20,000 units,´
Ramakrishnan added without giving any timeframe for the full capacity utilisation of Nano.
The company has an installed capacity to produce 250,000 Nanos per year. Sales of Nano
increased 60 per cent to 6,703 units in January, compared to the year ago month.

The Tata-Fiat joint venture company will set up two Fiat brand stores called µImage-Points¶
soon in New Delhi and Pune to showcase present and future Fiat models and create a brand
experience for prospective buyers, said Ramakrishnan. ³We are re-drawing plans in the
product, distribution and marketing areas to take the joint venture where we initially wanted
to. The JV is here to stay and we will soon make an announcement with regard to future
action,´ Ramakrishnan added.

³The brand centers will help increase awareness of the Fiat brand. They will be in line with
Fiat¶s brand centers elsewhere in the world,´ CEO, Fiat India Automobiles Rajeev Kapoor
said.

Fiat entered into a 50:50 joint venture with Tata Motors in 2006 with the latter taking
responsibility of servicing and distributing Fiat models such as Palio, Grande Punto and
Linea in the country. The JV, however, hasn¶t been able to lift the sales of Fiat models due to
cannibalisation between Tata and Fiat cars. Tata Motors also plans to launch a new variant of
the Indica next month. Between April and January, Hyundai sold 294,920 cars, up 17 per cent
from the year ago period, while Tata Motors sold 283,100 cars, higher by 28 per cent from a
year ago, according to Siam data.
