Tamil Nadu ​secures ₹15,516 Cr ​investments from the UK & Germany

The government said the move positions Tamil Nadu as a hub for sustainable mobility and advanced battery technologies, aligning with its ambition to lead in the EV sector.

Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s recent investment drive, dubbed ‘Tamil Nadu Rising,’ has brought a wave of hope and opportunity to the state. With fresh global investments of ₹15,516 crore from the UK and Germany, the potential to create over 17,600 jobs is a promise of a brighter future for many.

A major highlight is the Hinduja Group’s commitment of ₹7,500 crore towards strengthening the State’s electric vehicle ecosystem. The UK-based conglomerate will set up cell and battery manufacturing, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and charging infrastructure, creating more than 1,000 jobs.

Adding to the momentum, AstraZeneca announced a ₹176-crore expansion of its Global Innovation and Technology Centre in Chennai, its third investment in the State within two years. The expansion will drive AI-enabled research and technological innovation in healthcare.

Earlier in the drive, Stalin’s delegation had already secured MoUs worth ₹820 crore in the UK and a substantial ₹7,020 crore in Germany in aerospace, deep tech, textiles, automotive and electronics.

“These aren’t just numbers — they are opportunities and futures for our youth,” Stalin said, describing the investments as a reflection of the State’s governance model and talent strength
