Tata Motors Says Exploring Ways To Optimise Supply Chain For JLR Cars In India
Tata Motors Ltd. continues to explore ways to optimise the supply chain for making JLR cars in India, a company spokesperson said on Wednesday, amid reports that the British marquee has shelved plans to make EVs in India.
“Tata Motors Group's upcoming facility at Ranipet in Tamil Nadu will be a world-class, greenfield production facility for manufacturing next-gen cars and SUVs for both Tata Motors and JLR,” the spokesperson said in a text message. “The specific models and production timelines will be aligned with TPEM and JLR's broader strategy and market requirements while ensuring world-class quality and efficiency.”
“We continue to explore ways to optimise the supply chain both for Tata Motors and JLR.”
On Wednesday, Reuters first reported that JLR has shelved plans to make EVs in Tata Motors' upcoming billion-dollar facility in Tamil Nadu. The British unit of India's largest EV maker was unable to find the right price-quality balance for locally sourced EV parts, the Reuters report stated, citing people aware of the matter.
JLR's “rethink” on its India manufacturing plans is also expected to delay the launch of the Avinya brand of EVs, Reuters reported. But Tata Motors refuted the news.
“Also, Avinya will launch in FY27 as announced at the Bharat Mobility Expo” in New Delhi earlier this year, the spokesperson said in the text.
Designed for an annual installed capacity of 250,000 units, Tata Motors started construction of its Tamil Nadu plant in September 2024 to cater to both Indian and international markets. Production will be raised in a phased manner to achieve peak capacity in five to seven years.
On Wednesday, Tata Motors shares rose 3.18% to Rs 668.45 apiece on the BSE even as the benchmark Sensex ended the day 0.10% lower at 74,029.76 points.
