Indian conglomerates Tata and JSW are investing nearly $1 billion to develop domestic electric vehicle and battery technologies, aiming to reduce reliance on China. The investments include Tata's Agratas unit spending over $400 million on an R&D facility for lithium iron phosphate technologies, and JSW planning to invest at least $500 million in a research hub. These moves reflect a broader industry trend of Indian companies building local capabilities as China becomes more guarded about sharing critical technologies amid global trade tensions.
