JLR executives have told the UK's Sunday Times that the company has been considering bids by Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Turkey for a factory to produce some 200,000 cars a year.
However, the unnamed sources added that Poland had offered “huge” incentives.
Local sources said that the plant could most likely be built in Kraków at a cost of GBP 1.2 billion (PLN 7.01 billion / EUR 1.69 billion).
Last year JLR produced 450,000 cars, but has plans to expand to one million vehicles.
While based in England, with a British heritage, JLR is owned by Indian Tata motors. (rg)
