Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran on Tata Motors electric vehicle -

Tata Motors and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) are set to produce electric vehicles (EVs) in India for global markets, as announced by Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran. He emphasized the group’s strategy to utilize the “cost attitude” and sophistication of their brands for a competitive edge.

In a recent interview with ‘Autocar,’ Chandrasekaran highlighted that Tata Motors and JLR have been collaborating on synergies for several years, and they have now finalized plans for EV manufacturing in India. He mentioned that JLR’s electrified modular architecture (EMA) platform will be available in India with two variants—one from each manufacturer. Additionally, JLR vehicles will be exported from Sanand, Gujarat.

While specific details were not disclosed, Chandrasekaran expressed that both companies harbor “grand ambitions,” and Tata Motors intends to outline its export strategies within the next year.

Sanand, where Tata Motors has acquired the former Ford facility, is expected to be the site for the production of the first EMA-based vehicle, likely named Avinya. This vehicle is anticipated to cater to both international markets and the Indian consumer base.
