JLR as brand has no prospect in Russia and Russian do give opportunity to every one as courtesy but it does not mean they are serious you can clearly see how long simplified vehicles from Iran need time to pass vehicle certification in Russia.Russia can just use those rupees to pay for Indian labor. They can hire factories to make whichever goods they need and export them back to Russia. The problem is the Indians aren't making this easy either. For example the Russians tried to setup a deal to assemble Indian cars in Russia with Tata, but the instant the Indian managers they were talking with spoke with the board of directors, the deal was off. Turns out the board of directors at Tata Motors was packed with British people following their acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover.
So they basically are leaving the Russian car market to Chinese companies.
Russia also had issues when they talked with some companies in China like BYD. Probably because they have foreign investors and want to sell cars to the West they wouldn't send cars to Russia. Russia also tried to import Volvo cars from Geely, but the Swedish managers were against it. They do sell regular Geely branded cars in Russia just fine though.
Russia market should closely mirror Mideastern auto markets for imported vehicles. this assured supply of parts and vehicles life cycle costs are competitive and this clearly reflected in used car market where Japanese and Koreans are many times more than new despite sanction hinderance. than there is culture factor of the area. just Yesterday Putin in Rostov in LC200 Heritage edition
