Tata Delays EV Launch, JLR to Start Assembly in India by 2026
Tata Motors is changing its plans.
The launch of the Avinya electric car is delayed to 2026 because it needs some changes.
Also, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), owned by Tata Motors, will start assembling cars in Chennai, India, in 2026.
This helps JLR build cars locally.
Despite issues with getting certain materials, Tata Motors says its electric car plans are still on track.
Tata Motors delayed the launch of its Avinya EV to 2026 due to subsystem issues.
JLR will begin local assembly operations in Ranipet, Tamil Nadu, by 2026, focusing on CKD operations.
This Ranipet plant is part of a Rs 9,000 crore investment by Tata Motors.
JLR's Chennai plant may gradually replace Pune operations.
Tata Motors stated that rare-earth export curbs by China have not yet disrupted EV launches.
