At its height in the 1960s, the Port Talbot steelworks employed around 20,000 people, before cheaper offerings from China and other countries hit production. More than 300,000 people worked in Britain’s steel industry in 1971; by 2021 it was about 26,000. Last year the U.K. government gave Tata up to 500 million pounds ($634 million) to make the Port Talbot steelworks greener. “We saw it with the coal industry and now it is happening again with the steel industry.

☆ BMW Says It Will Invest $750 Million to Build Electric Minis in Oxford

BMW said on Monday that it would invest 600 million pounds, or about $750 million, to build electric versions of its popular Mini car models in Britain. The German manufacturer’s move allays fears that the combination of Brexit and the shift to electric cars would pose a dire threat to automobile manufacturing in Britain, but questions over the sector’s long-term future remain. BMW’s announcement is the third major piece of good news for Britain’s beleaguered car industry in recent months. Tata Group, the owner of Jaguar Land Rover, said in July it would spend 4 billion pounds to build a battery plant in western England. And last week, Stellantis, the leading maker of commercial vans in Britain, began producing electric-powered vans at its plant near Liverpool, after a £100 million investment.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is scheduled to meet India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi today in New York during Modi's visit to the United States, according to two sources familiar with the situation. Musk and Modi are expected to discuss Tesla's ambitions in the country, setting up a manufacturing base and possible incentives for battery production. Tesla has discussed operating in India in the past, but so far hasn't reached an agreement there. Tesla's largest manufacturing base outside the U.S. is in China, and it's also working on a major facility outside Berlin. While India is widely seen as a growth market for the broader automotive industry, the International Energy Agency projects electric car sales still represent a small share of the global market.

AHMEDABAD, June 2 (Reuters) - India's Tata Group signed an outline deal on Friday on building a lithium-ion cell factory, based on investment of about 130 billion rupees ($1.58 billion), as part of the nation's efforts to create its own electric vehicle supply chain. Compared to the size of its population, India's car market is tiny. Tata Motors dominates its electric vehicle (EV) sales, which made up just 1% of India's total car sales of about 3.8 million last year. "The plant will go a long way in contributing to the development of the EV ecosystem in Gujarat and India," Vijay Nehra, an official in the Gujarat state government told Reuters.
