Chinese automaker Chery Automobiles is reportedly keen on a joint venture with Tata Motors for an India entry.

"The nature of the partnership—a joint venture, retail sales tie-up or technology sharing—and the time for Chery’s entry into India is yet to be finalized, Livemint reported on Thursday.

As auto sales are expected to stagnate in China in the next few years, major auto majors there are looking to expand in India as the latter is the only market projected to grow significantly in the long run.
