Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath

As the company advances its net-zero journey, Tata Motors on Wednesday said its Lucknow plant will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping a cleaner, smarter and more sustainable mobility future for India.

The country’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer has marked a milestone with the rollout of the 10th-lakh commercial vehicle from its Lucknow facility, commemorating more than three-and-a-half decades of its presence in UP and its contribution to industrial excellence, economic growth, skill development and sustained livelihood creation, the company said.

At a time when India’s commercial vehicle industry is undergoing rapid transformation towards cleaner, smarter and more efficient mobility solutions, this milestone underscores Tata Motors’ leadership in shaping the future of mobility, it added.

“As Uttar Pradesh accelerates its journey towards sustainable and inclusive growth, we remain firmly committed to contributing to its progress and to shaping a future-ready mobility ecosystem,” N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons, said.

The milestone vehicle, a zero-emission electric bus, highlighted the shared commitment of Uttar Pradesh and Tata Motors to green mobility, aligned with the State’s net-zero 2070 vision and the company’s net-zero target of 2045, he added.

Meanwhile, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that no external elements should be allowed to interfere in factory operations, asserting that such interference can disrupt industrial harmony and progress.

“Our vision is to transform Uttar Pradesh into a one-trillion-dollar economy, with industry and entrepreneurs playing a pivotal role in this journey. The State offers a conducive ecosystem for scalable businesses, supported by a vast consumer market, a young, skilled workforce, and seamless connectivity,” he said.

Tata Motors’ success in UP reflects the strength of this ecosystem and reinforces the State’s commitment to fostering responsible industrial growth, creating jobs, building skills and advancing sustainable socio-economic development, he added.

Established in 1992, Tata Motors’ Lucknow facility is one of its most significant commercial vehicle manufacturing hubs, producing trucks and buses with global standards across multiple powertrains, including zero-emission electric and fuel-cell electric vehicles.

Spread over around 600 acres, the plant combines manufacturing scale with a strong focus on people and sustainability, supporting over 8,000 livelihoods, the company said
