Tata Group, an Indian conglomerate, revealed on Wednesday that its new multibillion-pound battery manufacturing facility will be built in Bridgwater, southwest England. Tata's first "gigafactory" outside of India is slated to open in Somerset County, southwest England, and will cost £4 billion ($5 billion).
Agratas, the worldwide battery division of the Tata Group, verified on Wednesday that the 40 GWh plant would be constructed at the Gravity Smart Campus in Bridgwater. The UK facility will grow to be one of Europe's biggest locations for the production of battery cells. Tata, the owner of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), unveiled the project in July.
According to a statement by Agratas, the facility is expected to generate up to 4,000 green-tech jobs in the region, with "many thousands" more expected to be produced indirectly. "Our multibillion-pound investment will bring state-of-the-art technology to Somerset, helping to supercharge Britain's transition to electric mobility whilst creating thousands of jobs in the process," Agratas CEO Tom Flack said. Construction will take place in stages with battery production scheduled to start in 2026, the statement said. JLR and Tata Motors will be its "first customers", it added.
