According to Reuters, Tata said it would then raise $500-$600 million by way of issuing securities in foreign markets, as previously planned, and was considering various options including the Tokyo Exchange.


The funds would be mainly used for the $2.3 billion purchase of the Jaguar and Land Rover brands from Ford, which is being done through a wholly owned UK subsidiary, the report added.


“Though the initial acquisition cost will be financed through bridging loans provided by a syndicate of banks, these loans would be fully repaid through the above-mentioned capital raising schemes,” India’s top vehicle maker said.


The three rights issues comprise equity shares, “A” shares and convertible preference shares, it said.
