The rumours mention an apparent document examining any potential benefits from a merger of JLR with PSA.
“As we have always said, in principle we are open to opportunities which could create long-term value for Groupe PSA and its shareholders,” a PSA spokesman said in a statement sent to just-auto from Paris.
“As for the document, we have no knowledge of a document of this type.”
Tata Motors was not immediately available for comment.
