Jaguar Land Rover to launch Five Electric Cars by 2025

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), renowned for producing exceptional SUVs like Range Rover, Defender, and Discovery under the esteemed Land Rover brand, as well as crafting luxurious Jaguar vehicles, has set its sights on a remarkable milestone. During the investor’s day meetup of JLR stakeholders held on 12th June 2023, the anticipated portfolio of JLR unveiled five new electric cars laying the stone for a prosperous future, JLR envisions achieving a revenue surpassing £28 billion in the fiscal year 2024.

Backing of Tata Motors to JLR

Tata Motors recently, invested £4 billion in the UK to establish a state-of-the-art electric vehicle (EV) battery plant,  (gigafactory) in Britain. This transformative project can be the potential reason behind JLR’s commitment to introduce five electric Cars by 2025. This initiative will create thousands of job opportunities across the supply chain, exemplifying the positive impact on the country’s automotive industry.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has warmly lauded this milestone as a moment of immense pride for the nation’s automotive sector. He emphasized that the Tata Group’s decision to invest in the UK underscores the strength and vitality of the country’s car manufacturing industry, bolstered by its highly skilled workforce.

As part of this groundbreaking venture, Tata Motors, which owns the esteemed UK-based Jaguar Land Rover, will act as the anchor customer for the new gigafactory. The initial output of 40GWh is slated to be one of the largest in Europe, marking a monumental step forward for the region’s electric vehicle ecosystem.

The production at this cutting-edge gigafactory is scheduled to commence in 2026 and is poised to play a pivotal role in Prime Minister’s vision to boost and expand the UK economy. The establishment of this state-of-the-art facility aligns perfectly with the government’s commitment to driving sustainable growth and fostering innovation in the automotive sector.
