Tata Motors Starts Building Rs 9,000 Crore Car Factory in Tamil Nadu

Tata Motors officially started work on a new vehicle manufacturing plant in Panapakkam, Tamil Nadu on Saturday. The facility aims to make next-generation four-wheelers and SUVs, serving both domestic and international markets. Notably, JLR will utilise the same factory for its upcoming line of electric cars.

The ground-breaking ceremony was attended by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran, along with various government officials and industry leaders.

Stalin lauded Tata Motors for its loyal and longstanding presence in the state while being committed to “Make in India, for the world". He emphasised the importance of this new factory for skill development and local employment. It will run entirely on renewable energy and over 5,000 jobs stand to be created. “I look forward to the completion of the project soon and would like to personally invite Chandrasekaran to attend the inauguration,” ANI reported.
