Mumbai/London: Tata Group on Wednesday announced an investment of 4 billion pounds (Rs42,500 cr) in setting up a flagship factory to make batteries for Jaguar Land Rover as well as other manufacturers. Tata Sons, owner of JLR, chose Bridgwater in Somerset in southwest England for the gigafactory over a rival location in Spain.
The gigafactory, at 40GWh, will be one of the largest in Europe and Tata’s first outside of India, the conglomerate said in a statement. The plant, being described as the most important investment in UK automotive since Nissan arrived in the 1980s, may have got subsidies worth hundreds of millions of pounds.
