The UK is set to secure a commitment from Tata Group to build a battery plant supplying a new range of electric Jaguar and Land Rover models.
Tata has chosen a site in Somerset, west England, owned by Salamanca Group, an investment and advisory business with roots in real estate, people familiar with the plans said. The Indian parent of the British brands will outline its decision as soon as this week, said the people, declining to be named discussing non-public information.
