Jaguar Land Rover, the wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Motors has opened a new Parts Distribution Centre (PDC) for the country, in Bhiwandi, near Mumbai. Spread across an area of 70,000 square feet, the state-of-the-art facility will have regionally-optimized inventory supporting both Jaguar and Land Rover brands. The inventory will be controlled by Jaguar Land Rover's central Inventory Management team.
