The paper cited sources in Frankfurt as saying that Forster was likely to be given a senior role at Tata Motors (TTM.N) which could involve him running the company's British operations.

Forster left GM after criticising it for reversing a decision to sell European unit Opel to Canadian auto parts company Magna (MGa.TO). [ID:nL6709634] No one at Jaguar Land Rover was immediately available to comment. (Reporting by Victoria Bryan; Editing by Greg Mahlich)
