Land Rover could make a plan to shift the production of its new fuel efficient LRX to India from UK.
It is said that the company’s owner, Tata would like to switch the production to India.Currrently, the LRX is being made at the company’s Halewood factory in Merseyside which also manufactures the Freelander based on the same platform. So it was widely expected that the chances to shift the production of the new vehicle are very few.
Tata Motors has yet to accept £27 million in Government grants and loans that are dependent on the LRX. The decision on where to build the LRX will be made later this year, probably in September. But the company officials said, Tata did say last month that it had no plans to move production out of the UK.
Earlier this week, another blow to Halewood came when the company confirmed that the Jaguar X-type model will no longer be manufactured at the Merseyside factory. The LRX is expected to be one of the greenest SUVs on the market.
