Overview

  • Tata says it will invest about ₹9,000 crore in the Panapakkam, Ranipet site within the SIPCOT complex.
  • Production will scale in phases to a designed annual capacity of up to 2.5 lakh vehicles over the next five to seven years for India and export markets.
  • The facility begins with JLR completely knocked down (CKD) assembly to supplement the constrained Chakan operations, with detailed model allocations to be disclosed later.
  • The plant is projected to create roughly 5,000 direct and indirect jobs and includes workforce training through Tata Motors’ Lakshya earn‑while‑you‑learn programme.
  • Built across roughly 470 acres, the site is designed to run on 100% renewable energy, target water‑positive operations, and leverage proximity to Tamil Nadu ports for logistics and exports.
