Reports said losses at Jaguar stood at USD 715 million in 2006. Jaguar has been a dog i.e. it has not been able to provide any profit for ford because of the high manufacturing costs provided in the United Kingdom.

Bringing down production costs and turning around the company successfully will be the challenge,” analysts said. It was a test that Ford failed. Ford is combining both the brands since the products and manufacturing of vehicles for

TAMO has a robust working capital management in its auto biz. Inventory and receivable days at around 30 & 9 respectively and creditors at around 40 days The vehicle loan receivables skew the reported working capital picture as they are shown as part of working capital under Indian GAAP We estimate operating cashflow from auto biz largely covers TAMO’s auto capex . Currently it would be free cashflow neutral to modest +ve.
