In June 2008, Tata Motors, a part of the Tata Group, completed the acquisition of JLR from Ford for a net consideration of $2.3 billion in an all-cash transaction. By 2013, the global appeal of JLR increased sales massively. The success surprised many analysts and investors who had maintained that Tata Motors was making an expensive mistake in acquiring JLR.
