Tata Group explores EV manufacturing expansion in Uttar Pradesh

Tata Group is in talks with the Uttar Pradesh government to expand its electric vehicle manufacturing in the state, including the possibility of setting up dedicated EV facilities.

The group is also reviewing the introduction of new EV models, deployment of electric buses, and broader development of the EV ecosystem in Uttar Pradesh.

Tata Group operates the 1,900 MW Bara thermal power plant in Prayagraj and is developing two 50 MW solar power plants in Bundelkhand and Prayagraj.

The company is scaling rooftop solar projects across 50 districts in Uttar Pradesh.

Construction has started on four to five new Tata buildings in Noida, with phased completion expected by December 2026.

Tata Group will continue supporting Uttar Pradesh’s defense manufacturing sector, focusing on increasing manufacturing and technology capabilities.
