Prior to Forster's appointment, Tata Motors' vice-chairman, Ravi Kant, oversaw operations at JLR and was also credited for its successful turnaround. Under Forster, Tata confirmed two new satellite plants in India and China and integration of production facilities in the United Kingdom. With Forster's exit, Prakash M Telang, managing director of India operations, will assume charge of all activities of Tata Motors in India. He has been also monitoring Tata's operations in Thailand and South Africa. Ralf Speth, who reported to Forster, will continue as chief executive of JLR. Abdul Majeed, leader for the automotive practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers, said: "As long as you have a succession plan to take forward, you should be able to manage. The company has been established and the exit of Forster won't have a significant impact on Tata Motors." Under Forster Tata also began the process of integrating JLR's technology into its own models, such as those seen in the Aria and the to-be-launched Safari (new).
