Auto stocks have opened the day mainly in the green with Tube Investments Ltd and Hero Motocorp Ltd leading the gains. As per a leading financial daily, Tata Motors Ltd and Chinese carmaker Chery Automobile are holding talks to explore possible tie-ups. These tie ups are likely to include sharing of vehicle platforms, getting access to the market in China for Tata Motors and assisting Chery to enter India. Earlier, Tata Motors had considered buying some of Chery's platforms while working on its 2020 strategy. Also, as reported in a Chinese daily, Chery was in talks to sell the platforms of its QQ, A1 and M1 micro sedans and the A3 compact car to Tata Motors to raise capital and ease its debt burden. As per the sources close to the development, the synergistic benefits from the deal are minimal.
