Tata Motors Arms to Develop Premium EVs

Tata Motors' electric vehicle arm has inked a licensing pact to source electrified architecture from Jaguar Land Rover for the development of the 'Avinya' range of cars.

Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd (TPEM) and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), both 100% subsidiaries of the auto major, have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The pact envisages TPEM licensing JLR's electrified modular architecture (EMA) platform for a royalty fee for the development of the Avinya series.

TPEM and JLR will also enter into an engineering services agreement (ESA) to support the former's content requirements for the first vehicle development.

JLR's EMA platform will underpin the automaker's next generation of electric mid-sized SUVs for international markets, to be launched from 2025 onwards.

The platform is optimised for native Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) proportions to maximise interior space, comfort and vision along with advanced electrical and electronic architecture, connectivity, software and feature over-the-air capability.

The Avinya concept was first showcased in 2022. Partnering with JLR on the EMA platform will make the 'Avinya' series globally competitive and future-proof.

Coal India's Mid-FY24 Milestone

Based on the recent data released for October, Coal India's production increased by 15.4% year-on-year in the month to 61.1 MT.

With this, the overall production figures for the first seven months of the current financial year stood at 394 MT, a growth of 11.9% from the 351.9 MT figure during the same period last year.

Barring Northern Coalfields, which saw its production rise by 9.5% in October, all other subsidiaries of Coal India saw their production grow between 10% and 33% year-on-year in the month gone by. Eastern Coalfields saw their production grow 33%, while Western Coalfields grew its production by 20.8%.

Coal India's offtake for October also grew by 14.8% from last year to 61.6 MT. With this, the overall offtake for the company during the first seven months of the current financial year stood at 422.4 MT, a growth of 9.5% from last year.

Production is generally slow in the first half of the financial year due to the monsoon months. Even in the financial year 2023, Coal India's production stood at 42% of the annual target in the first half of the year before meeting its 700 MT production target a day before the year-end.

Adani Green Energy to Borrow US$ 1.8 Billion

Adani Green Energy, the renewables firm of Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, is in talks with a group of foreign lenders to borrow as much as US$ 1.8 billion (bn).

The loan proceeds will be used to build new capacity in solar and wind projects, said the people, who asked not to be named as the matter is private.

The banks involved include Barclays Plc, BNP Paribas SA, Deutsche Bank AG, First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC, Rabobank and Standard Chartered Plc.

The transaction hasn't been finished and the terms could still change. If signed before late December, it would be one of the 20 biggest major currency loans in Asia this year.

The potential borrowing is taking place just a few weeks after Adani Group completed a US$ 3.5 bn funding package to refinance debt used to purchase Ambuja Cements and ACC.

The capital raising is another sign the conglomerate has at least partially rebuilt investor confidence after suffering a scathing short seller attack earlier this year that caused some banks to baulk on debt refinancing.
