The MoU was signed in the presence of Thiru. MK Stalin - Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, and between V Vishnu, IAS - Managing Director & CEO, Guidance, and PB Balaji, Group CFO - Tata Motors. The Minister for Industries Dr TRB Rajaa, the Secretary of Industries, Investment Promotion & Commerce Department, Arun Roy, IAS, and senior officials of Tata Motors Group were present for the event.

It’s unclear what will be produced at the new Tamil Nadu manufacturing facility. The company has an expansive lineup of passenger and commercial vehicles, including electric vehicles. More recently, Tata announced its plans to divide its passenger (including ICE, EV and JLR) and commercial vehicle businesses (and its related investments) into two separate listed companies. Tata already has facilities in Jamshedpur, Pantnagar, Lucknow, Sanand, Dharwad, and Pune in the country. It also has manufacturing facilities in Argentina, South Africa, the UK, and Thailand.

Tamil Nadu is considered the Detroit of India, given the high concentration of auto players in the state. Tata’s arrival has been a long time coming and the auto giant joins the likes of Hyundai, Renault-Nissan, Stellantis, Bharat Benz, BMW, and a host of other OEMs, which have a presence in the state. We expect Tata Motors to share more details in due course.
