Jaguar Land Rover Shelves Plan to Build EVs at Tata's India Plant
Mint Mumbai
|March 13, 2025
The shelved plans called for JLR to manufacture more than 70,000 electric cars there
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has shelved plans to build electric vehicles (EVs) at parent company Tata Motors' upcoming $1 billion factory in southern India, four people with knowledge of the matter said.
The British luxury car unit was unable to find the right price-quality balance for locally sourced EV parts, three of them said, adding that the decision also reflects slowing demand for electric cars.
"For India, all the work (on JLR electric vehicles) has stopped. Everything has been suspended since about two months," said a supplier.
