Tata bets on domestic battery manufacturing to maintain EV leadership amid decline:

The fight for the top spot is set to heat up in 2025, with Mahindra & Mahindra, Hyundai Motor, and market leader Maruti Suzuki launching new EVs.

To strengthen its position in the increasingly competitive landscape, the company is pushing for domestic battery manufacturing. Last month, the Tata Group announced an initial investment of $1.5 billion to establish a battery gigafactory in India which will start producing lithium-ion cells in 2026. This Gujarat-based facility will supply Tata Motors, allowing the company to further integrate their supply chain and reduce reliance on external suppliers.

Tata says the gigafactory is expected to reach full production capacity by 2028, which should ensure a steady supply of batteries for its expanding EV portfolio. This positions the company to gain a competitive edge over newer entrants who depend on third-party suppliers for EV components.
