HONG KONG, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Tata Motors (TAMO.BO), India's top vehicle maker, plans to open its 41.5 billion rupee ($914 million) rights issue on Sept 29, for shareholders on record as of Sept 16, according to a term sheet obtained by Reuters.

The rights issue to ordinary and A-share stockholders will close on Oct 20.

Tata has said that proceeds would be used to make an early repayment on some of the short-term funding of its $2.3 billion acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford Motor Co (F.N). The $3 billion bridge loan expires in June 2009. [ID:nBOM159702]
