Dr Ralf Speth has steered one of the automotive industry's biggest turnarounds as CEO of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). The premium car brands have registered impressive growth under the Tata Group's ownership.JLR has already invested in an assembly unit in Pune where vehicles are put together from completely knocked down (CKD) units. Here Dr Speth talks about the company's future plans for India, the effect of the China slowdown and the future of electric cars.What are your plans to Make in India In relation to localisation and production in India, it is a step by step process. There are possibilities for the future and will depend on how India develops its economy. At this moment, India is not a market for premium cars in terms of volumes that justify building a plant there. If it were to explode in terms of GDP and come closer to the Chinese market of 24 million cars a year, we can think about a unit in India.Is the China market's slowdown a worry China slowdown affects everybody and also us. It's the biggest market. JLR is very well spread out. The US is become stronger, Europe is growing which gives a good proposition for the future. As for what is being referred to as the 'new normal' (in China) everyone has to adjust and adapt. But it won't throw us out of orbit.All our engineering and research and a majority of our plants are in the UK, and we have also just established a new engine facility. So the heart and soul of the firm remains in Britain but we have to say that JLR would not exist if Mr Ratan Tata would not have bought these British brands and invested to provide an opportunity to company to survive.The group continues with the policy of giving us the freedom to grow.How does JLR fit into the premium car market We have the very best SUVs in the mark on the Land Rover side. F-Pace is the very first crossover. It's a car with the DNA of a Jaguar but also practicality of a Land Rover.When compared to the big three [Audi, Mercedes- Benz and BMW], we are a niche player. We have a limited product portfolio. But in the segments we are competing, we are very well positioned. In those segments we have the products, the engines and the technology. As a niche player, we can have a faster decision making process.What are your plans for electric cars The electric car market is minimalist. Also, I do not feel the current technology is the best approach. We need a better end-to-end solution. Electric motor as a concept is exciting but the battery weight has to be reduced in order to make it a viable product. We are still far from an ideal ratio of energy density and weight of the batteries - not to mention their cost.Another question is what will happen to the batteries at the end of their lives in cars.Hence we at JLR invest in aluminium which has high recycling potential.
