Mumbai, April 26, 2008: The European Commission accorded its approval to Tata Motors` (Q, N,C,F)* takeover of Jaguar and Land Rover from US carmaker Ford. The EU gave its approval to the deal after reviewing it for competition threats through a fast-track procedure reserved for transactions not expected to pose any problems. In March, Tata Motors bought two British luxury icons Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford for USD 2.3 billion, vaulting the Indian company into the premium global car market.
