Jaguar Land Rover cancels EV production plans in India

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has decided to cancel its plan to build electric vehicles (EVs) in India. This decision comes as demand for EVs has been low in the global market for the past few months. Reports indicate that JLR struggled to find the right balance between price and quality for locally sourced parts. As a result, the company has stopped discussions with local suppliers and suspended its EV projects in India. This decision may also affect Tata Motors, which owns JLR. Tata's upcoming premium EV under the Avinya brand could face delays due to shared platforms and components with JLR EVs. Despite this setback, Tata Motors is expanding its operations. The company is building a new manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu, set to begin operations in September. This facility will produce around 250,000 vehicles each year.
