"The company has major growth plans for expanding its product range and presence in the domestic and global markets in commercial and passenger vehicles, including strategic alliances and acquisition opportunities," Tata Motors said in a notice sent to its shareholders seeking their approval on various issues such as fund raising plans.

The company is seeking the shareholders' consent for raising up to one billion dollars through issue of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds or equity shares in the international market, the circular said.

Besides, it has also sought shareholders' nod for raising the company's borrowing limit to Rs 20,000 crore (about $5 billion). As part of its long term funding plans, it would raise Rs 7,200 crore through three simultaneous but separate rights issues to part-finance its $2.3 billion buyout of British luxury brands Jaguar and Land Rover.

The shareholders nod have also been sought to raise $500-600 million (Rs 2,700 crore) in international market, which would be out of the approval sought for $1billion.

Tata Motors said it would continue to pursue growth plans in passenger and commercial vehicle segments through measures such as launch of new models and investment in manufacturing facilities and technology.
