“We have successfully retooled the factory in the shortest span of 12 months, taking it to a new level to accommodate a wide range of existing products and future new models to come. This new facility will unlock an additional state-of-the-art manufacturing capacity of 300,000 units per annum, which is scalable to 420,000 units per annum,” said ShaileshChandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd & Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd.
TPEML acquired the plant in 2022 and executed the unit transfer agreement on August 7, 2022, for the acquisition of the Sanand plant in Gujarat for ₹725.7 crore. The plant includes land and buildings, and a vehicle manufacturing plant, along with machinery and equipment.
