Tata to Build £4bn Gigafactory in Somerset for Electric Vehicle Batteries

The new facility, expected to create 4,000 jobs, will produce batteries for electric cars, motorcycles, and energy storage.

Tata's new subsidiary Agratas will oversee the construction of the gigafactory, set to begin production in 2026.
The Somerset gigafactory will be one of Europe's largest, with a capacity of 40 gigawatt hours per year.
The factory aims to support the UK's transition to electric mobility and will create thousands of jobs in the region.
Agratas plans to supply batteries to Tata Motors, including Jaguar Land Rover, as well as third-party companies.
The UK government has provided approximately £500 million in subsidies to support the project.
