Tata Group Announces $5 Billion Investment in UK Electric Vehicle Battery Gigafactory

U.S. Signs Order to Implement Partial Tariff Reductions on UK Imports

Tata Group, a major Indian conglomerate, has announced plans to construct an electric vehicle (EV) battery gigafactory in the United Kingdom, marking a significant investment in the country’s automotive industry. The project involves a 4 billion pound ($5.2 billion) investment and is expected to create up to 4,000 jobs. The facility will produce an initial output of 40 gigawatt-hours (GWh) and will primarily supply Tata’s Jaguar Land Rover factories.

The UK government, led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, played a pivotal role in securing the investment, although the exact amount of financial support offered to Tata has not been disclosed. Reports suggest that substantial subsidies, possibly amounting to hundreds of millions of pounds, were part of the deal. The investment decision was made in favor of the UK over Spain, which was also in contention for the project.

The planned gigafactory is expected to be located in Somerset, southwest England, while Jaguar Land Rover’s manufacturing bases are near Birmingham in central England. The factory, slated to begin production in 2026, will supply batteries for future electric models of Jaguar Land Rover, including popular brands like Range Rover, Defender, and Discovery.

This development is crucial for the UK automotive industry, which has been trailing its European counterparts in establishing EV battery production facilities. The UK currently has one small Nissan plant and another under construction. The new Tata gigafactory is projected to meet nearly half of the UK’s battery production needs by 2030, as estimated demand exceeds 100 GWh annually.

Tata Group’s commitment to the UK through this investment was emphasized by Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran. The investment is seen as a vital step in the global transition to electrification in the automotive sector and is critical for the UK to maintain its automotive production capabilities.

Industry experts and leaders have lauded the move. Mike Hawes of Britain’s auto industry group SMMT highlighted the investment’s importance at a pivotal time for the industry’s shift to electrification. Meanwhile, Andy Palmer, former CEO of Aston Martin and chairman of EV battery maker InoBat, noted the necessity of government subsidies to remain competitive in the global market.

The UK government, while aware of the substantial subsidies offered by the United States for green industries, is focused on attracting significant projects to the country. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt acknowledged the competition for such investments globally, emphasizing the need to secure them for the UK’s economic and industrial growth.

This investment is also aligned with the UK’s environmental goals, including the planned phase-out of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030. Environmental groups like Greenpeace have welcomed the announcement, seeing it as a crucial step in the UK’s commitment to clean technology and the transition to electric vehicles. Greenpeace’s senior climate campaigner, Paul Morozzo, however, cautioned that the UK must adhere to its plans to phase out petrol and diesel vehicles to ensure the long-term viability of its EV manufacturing sector.
