According to a media report, Sajjan Jindal, Chairman and Managing Director of the JSW Group, is all set to acquire Ford\u2019s Chennai plant.<\/p>\n
Reports suggest that the steel magnate is setting up a new company by buying a sizeable stake in MG Motor India. He is also said to be in talks with China-based Leapmotor to license their EV technology.<\/p>\n
It has been reported that Jindal is looking to acquire 45-48% of MG Motor India after the wholly-owned subsidiary of China-based SAIC Motor decided to dilute its stake. The Hero Group, Reliance and Premji Invest were also said to be in the race to acquire the automaker.<\/p>\n
As per the latest reports, Jindal could initially get over 30% stake in the company with MG Motor continuing to control a majority stake along with local financial institutions and employees. There are plans for an IPO that would give the Jindal entity a controlling stake.<\/p>\n
