NOT FOR GENERAL CIRCULATION
IN THE UNITED STATES



Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc
£300,000,000 2.750% Senior Notes due 2021
Guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Jaguar Land Rover Limited
and Jaguar Land Rover Holdings Limited

The 2.750% Senior Notes due 2021 were issued in the aggregate principal amount of £300,000,000 (the
"Notes"). The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 2.750% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on 15
January and 15 July of each year, beginning on 15 July 2017. The Notes will mature on 24 January 2021.
Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc (the "Issuer") may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, plus the
"make-whole" premium set forth in this offering memorandum. In addition, the Issuer may redeem all of the
Notes at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon the occurrence of
certain changes in applicable tax law. There is no sinking fund for the Notes. In the event of a Change of
Control (as defined herein), the Issuer must make an offer to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101%
of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
The Notes will be the Issuer's senior obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all existing
and future indebtedness of the Issuer that is not subordinated (and is not senior) in right of payment to the Notes
and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer that is subordinated in
right of payment to the Notes. The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis
by Jaguar Land Rover Limited and Jaguar Land Rover Holdings Limited (the "Guarantors"). The guarantees of
the Notes by each of the Guarantors (the "Note Guarantees") will rank equally in right of payment with all of the
existing and future indebtedness of such Guarantor that is not subordinated in right of payment to the Note
Guarantees, and senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of such Guarantor that is
subordinated in right of payment to the Note Guarantees. The Notes and the Note Guarantees will also be
effectively subordinated to all of the Issuer's and each of the Guarantors' existing and future secured debt to the
extent of the value of the assets securing such debt and to all existing and future debt of all the Issuer's subsidiaries
that do not guarantee the Notes.
Application has been made to admit the Notes to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and
to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Euro MTF market (the "Euro MTF Market"). The Euro MTF
Market is not a regulated market pursuant to the provisions of Directive 2004/39/EC. This Offering
Memorandum constitutes a prospectus for the purposes of the Luxembourg law dated 10 July 2005 on Prospectuses
for Securities, as amended.

Investing in the Notes involves risks. Please see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 19.

The Notes and the Note Guarantees have not been registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "US Securities Act"), or any state securities laws. Accordingly, the Notes and the Note Guarantees
are being offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers ("QIBs") in accordance with Rule 144A under the
US Securities Act ("Rule 144A") and to persons outside the United States that are not, and are not acting for the
account or benefit of, "U.S. persons" (as defined in Regulation S under the US Securities Act ("Regulation S")) in

that the seller of the Notes may be relying on the exemption from the registration requirements under the US
Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA
Issuer
Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc (formerly Jaguar Land Rover PLC), which is the holding company of
the Jaguar Land Rover business, was incorporated in England and Wales as a private limited company on
18 January 2008, and registered under the name TML Holdings Limited on 6 February 2008 and the name Jaguar
Land Rover Limited on 9 June 2008. On 6 April 2011, it was re-registered in England and Wales as a public
limited company. On 28 December 2012, its name was changed to Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc. The
Issuer is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of TML Holdings Pte Limited (Singapore) ("TMLH"), itself wholly
owned by Tata Motors, which is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, the National Stock Exchange of India and
the New York Stock Exchange. Tata Sons Limited ("Tata Sons"), together with its subsidiaries, owned 29.44% of
the voting rights capital in Tata Motors as at 30 September 2016. In this Offering Memorandum, we refer to, and
present consolidated financial information for, the Issuer and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Financial Statements and Other Financial Information
This Offering Memorandum includes:
·
the audited consolidated financial statements of Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc and its
subsidiaries as at and for the year ended 31 March 2016 (the "2016 Consolidated Financial
Statements");
·
the audited consolidated financial statements of Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc and its
subsidiaries as at and for the year ended 31 March 2015 (the "2015 Consolidated Financial
Statements");
·
the audited consolidated financial statements of Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc and its
subsidiaries as at and for the year ended 31 March 2014 (the "2014 Consolidated Financial
Statements"); and
·
the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Jaguar Land Rover
Automotive plc and its subsidiaries as at 30 September 2016 and for the six months ended 30
September 2016 and 2015 (the "Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements" and, together
with the 2016 Consolidated Financial Statements, the 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements and the
2014 Consolidated Financial Statements, the "Consolidated Financial Statements").
We have derived the consolidated financial data for the fiscal years ended 31 March 2016, 2015 and 2014
and the interim consolidated financial data for the six months ended 30 September 2016 and 2015 from the
Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Offering Memorandum.
This Offering Memorandum also includes the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for
the twelve months ended 30 September 2016 for Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc and its subsidiaries, which has
been derived by aggregating without adjustments the relevant results of the year ended 31 March 2016 and the six
months ended 30 September 2016 and subtracting the six months ended 30 September 2015 to derive results for the
twelve months ended 30 September 2016. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for the
twelve months ended 30 September 2016 has been prepared solely for the purpose of this Offering Memorandum,
is not prepared in the ordinary course of our financial reporting, and has not been audited or reviewed. The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for the twelve months ended 30 September 2016 presented
herein is not required by or presented in accordance with IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting
principles.
The 2016 Consolidated Financial Statements, 2015 Consolidated Financial Statements and the 2014
Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and the Condensed Consolidated
Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. In making an investment decision,
you must rely upon your own examination of the terms of the offering of the Notes and the financial information
contained in this Offering Memorandum. You should also consult your own professional advisers for an
understanding of the differences between IFRS and US GAAP and how those differences could affect the financial
information contained in this Offering Memorandum. There are a number of differences between IFRS and
US GAAP. We have not prepared financial statements in accordance with US GAAP or reconciled our financial
statements to US GAAP and are therefore unable to identify or quantify the differences that may impact our
reported profits, financial position or cash flows were they to be reported under US GAAP.
vii



We would not be able to capitalise product development costs if we were to prepare our financial
statements in compliance with US GAAP. Under IFRS, research costs are charged to the income statement in the
year in which they are incurred. Product development costs incurred on new vehicle platforms, engine,
transmission and new products must, however, be capitalised and recognised as intangible assets when
(i) feasibility has been established, (ii) we have committed technical, financial and other resources to complete the
development and (iii) it is probable that the relevant asset will generate probable future economic benefits. The
costs capitalised include the cost of materials, direct labour and directly attributable overhead expenditure incurred
up to the date the asset is available for use. Interest costs incurred in connection with the relevant development
are capitalised up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use, based on borrowings incurred specifically for
financing the asset or the weighted average rate of all other borrowings if no specific borrowings have been
incurred for the asset. We amortise product development costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of the intangible assets. Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment loss.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires us to use certain critical
accounting estimates. It also requires our board of directors to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the
Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where
assumptions and estimates are significant to the Consolidated Financial Statements, are described in "Operating
and Financial Review and Prospects--Critical Accounting Policies".
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared based on the fiscal year and are presented in
British pounds rounded to the nearest £1.0 million. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared
under the historical cost convention modified for certain items carried at fair value, as stated in the accounting
policies set out in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Internal Controls
Upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial
reporting conducted as part of the corporate governance and public disclosure obligations of our parent, Tata
Motors, we concluded that there was a material weakness, such that our internal controls over financial reporting
were not effective as at 31 March 2015 and as at 31 March 2014. A material weakness, under the applicable
auditing standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) in the United States,
is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weakness identified with respect to the year ended 31 March 2015 consisted of a deficiency
of the design of the review controls relating to complex derivative instruments designated in hedge relationship
during the year ended 31 March 2015. Such review controls were not sufficiently direct and precise, and, as a
result, an inappropriate method for prospective hedge effectiveness testing was used at inception for these foreign
exchange and commodities derivative instruments. Our management determined that these complex derivative
instruments did not qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39. As a result of the deficiency,
changes in the fair value of these complex derivative instruments were initially recorded in the hedging reserve as
part of other comprehensive income. Following identification of the deficiency, the amount has been
appropriately recorded in our consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 March 2015, and not under
other comprehensive income. Following the identification of the deficiency relating to complex derivatives
designated in hedge transactions described above in the first quarter of Fiscal 2016, management designed and
implemented a preventive control consisting of a review at inception of all complex derivative instruments
designated in hedge relationships by technical accounting specialists. This control was subject to formal
remediation testing. The specific remediation actions taken by management included the (i) design and
implementation of a daily review by internal financial instrument specialists of all derivative instruments
designated in a hedge relationship at inception or thereafter if a hedge relationship is re-designated to ensure that
the designation, documentation and method of hedge effectiveness testing is appropriate before any changes
relating to the value of such instrument are accounted and (ii) implementation of an additional weekly detective
control to review appropriateness of hedge accounting for all complex derivative instruments by internal technical
accounting specialists. Based upon the measures we have adopted to remedy this material weakness and the
results of our tests of their effectiveness, we have concluded that this material weakness was remediated as of 31
March 2016.
The material weakness identified with respect of the year ended 31 March 2014 consisted of a deficiency
in the design and operating effectiveness of controls over the change management procedures relating to an
information technology system and as a result an inappropriate change to a raw materials system data table in the
year ended 31 March 2014, was not prevented or detected on a timely basis. The inappropriate change to the raw
