Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), owned by India's Tata Motors , has entered into agreements with lenders in China for a secured term loan facility of 5 billion yuan ($704.50 million), marking its first debt financing in China, it said.

The fundraising comes as the coronavirus pandemic has hit global automakers’ supply chains and sales. Sales from China used to account for 25% to 30% of JLR’s global sales, but over the past two months make up 50%, Yu said.

The loan facility “can help JLR China better manage cash flow amid the coronavirus epidemic”, Yu told reporters on Friday. JLR, which imports cars and also has a manufacturing partnership in the Chinese eastern city of Changshu with Wuhu-based Chery Automobile, said its China sales in April were level with same period last year, and it saw sales growth in May.

Yu said the company expects sales of China’s luxury car segment this year to be level with last year or see slight growth.

With loan shark clauses in sure. That's the Chinese way.

What will be happened in the future?

Hard to believe a company that buyers spend a weeks worth of pay on a monthly payment needs to borrow money.

This is dangerous. It could end with Jaguar and Land Rover meeting the same fate as MG.
