Looking at the stock prices of some of the manufacturer's, I learnt that JLR was the largest profit contributer to Tata Motor's balance sheet. THis is good new s for the brand - Jaguar in particular.
On the other hand, Aston Martin has about $900M or bn in debt maturing early next year which they have to re-finance.
Ferrari continues to shoot out the lights !
Just some market news.

I would not take it being the most profitable part of Tara as significant. It’s clear they need a global partner to continue and with Tata’s woes it makes it ideal to sell off to support core business

Tata's cash injection years ago into Jaguar made it what it is today. The F Type or CX75 would have never existed were it not for "money".
The chances of JLR listing independently are slim and probably not the best move. What are the alternatives ? Talk was acquisition by Peugeot. Obvioudly that's not gonna happen with the Peugeot and Fiat Merger.
I'll be quite content if JLR remains linked to a cash flush parent like Tata or even Mercedes (not BMW, VW or heavens forbid FORD!)

It needs a much bigger manufacturing partner to be long term viable
