They were touted as prestigious takeover trophies won abroad, but there is no mention of the Tatas at the Internet addresses of luxurious car brands Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR).

Even Tata Motors website does not have JLR in the list of its brands although their takeover has been mentioned as one of the milestones of 2008.

However, another prized acquisition, European steel giant Corus flaunts the name of its Indian owners on its website.

"Corus is a part of the Tata Steel Group," the global steel major says on its website, which has also adopted the theme colour of Tata Steel, blue, in addition to its all-red look before the takeover.

However, the websites of Jaguar and Land Rover do not have any mention of Tata Motors, their current owners. Jaguar website also has a section on its history, beginning 1922 when it was conceived, but it culminates in the year 2004, much before Tatas acquired it 2008.

When contacted, Tata Motors spokesperson has said that the sites were not meant for corporate consumption.

"JLR is a 100 per cent subsidiary of Tata Motors. The websites focus on JLR product information in different countries... Product-centric websites do not require corporate information," the spokesperson has said.
