Tata Motors will manufacture Jaguar Land Rover vehicles at a new $1 billion plant

Tata Motors plans to produce Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) luxury cars at a new plant in Tamil Nadu, India’s 10th largest state, people familiar with the situation told Reuters.

This development is momentous as it will mark the first time that JLR branded vehicles will be built entirely in India.

A Reuters source, who chose not to be named, said the cars are intended to be sold both domestically and internationally.

Tata Motors, the parent company that bought JLR in 2008, did not provide any information to Reuters on these details. However, the company announced plans for the Tamil Nadu site in March, but did not indicate which models would be offered or the expected production capacity.

JLR currently operates three car manufacturing plants in the UK and also has manufacturing sites in China, Brazil and Slovakia.

In the Indian market, JLR cars are considered a niche brand and all units currently sold in India are imported from the UK.
