麦迪逊表示，其他竞购捷豹和陆虎的私人股权投资公司也表示会尽量控制裁员规模。但塔塔汽车凭藉其过往历史赢得了工会的支持。

He said the other private-equity bidders also said they would try to limit layoffs , but the unions support Tata Motors because of its history .

塔塔汽车最后可能会将捷豹和陆虎两个品牌引入印度，而对外出口自有品牌汽车。该公司期望，其自有品牌长期而言能创造利润。

Eventually , it may bring Jaguars and Land Rovers to India and sell its own cars overseas , which the company hopes will translate into profits over the longer term .
