Tata Group, which owns Jaguar Land Rover, is to build a £4bn gigafactory in Somerset.
Tata’s battery business Agratas said it had bought land at the Gravity Smart Campus off the M5 just outside Bridgewater on the site of an old Royal Ordnance factory.
Tata chairman N Chandrasekaran said: “The Tata group is deeply committed to a sustainable future across all of our business. Our multi-billion-pound investment will bring state-of-the-art technology to the country, helping to power the automotive sector’s transition to electric mobility, anchored by our own business, Jaguar Land Rover.”
