Tata Motors, the parent company of JLR, is exploring the possibility of manufacturing electric vehicles on a massive scale in India. According to reports, Tata Motors is considering constructing a new electric vehicle plant in Ranipet, Tamil Nadu, with an initial production capacity of at least 200,000 electric cars. It’s expected that two-thirds of the output will be JLR vehicles and the remaining one-third will be Tata cars. Most of JLR’s production at this plant is likely to be designated for export.
Tata Motors declined to comment on these rumors, but the move aligns with India becoming a key manufacturing location for JLR as part of its commitment to transition into an all-electric lineup. By 2026, most of the Land Rover portfolio is anticipated to have electric variants available. This move also coincides with the progress of the India-UK free trade deal, which is expected to be finalized soon. Currently, JLR vehicles are manufactured in the UK and Slovakia.
In addition to electric vehicles, there have been recent developments in shipping and delivery services that could impact various countries. For example, there has been a shift towards more sustainable and eco-friendly packaging materials in order to reduce waste and carbon emissions. There have also been advancements in autonomous delivery systems that could streamline logistics operations and improve efficiency. As these technologies continue to evolve, it will be interesting to see how they impact global trade and commerce in the future.
