Tata Motors celebrates 10 lakh commercial vehicles from its Lucknow facility, marking 35 years in UP and a commitment to green mobility.

"The rollout of 10 lakh trucks and buses... is a moment of pride for the entire state. - Yogi Adityanath"

New Delhi, April 15

Indian commercial vehicle manufacturer Tata Motors Ltd on Wednesday announced the rollout of its 10th lakh vehicle from its Lucknow plant.

The rollout also marked three‑and‑a‑half decades of operations in Uttar Pradesh, the company said in a release.

In his reaction, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said: "The rollout of 10 lakh trucks and buses from Tata Motors' Lucknow facility is a moment of pride for the entire state. It is a recognition of the state's capabilities and immense potential, as well as of its talented people."

"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 Uttar Pradesh 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.

The milestone vehicle was a zero-emission electric bus, and it 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, the company said.

On this occasion, Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran said that the production of Tata Motors' 10th lakh commercial vehicle from its Lucknow facility reflects the strength of its longstanding partnership with Uttar Pradesh.

"Over more than three decades, this collaboration has demonstrated how industry, government and communities can come together to drive industrial excellence, create livelihoods and build capabilities at scale," he added.

"As 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," he said, as per the release.

The Lucknow facility, established in 1992 and spread over about 600 acres, has an annual capacity of over one lakh vehicles and supports over 8,000 livelihoods.

It builds industry‑relevant skills through flagship training programmes, and operates as a water‑positive facility powered by 100 per cent renewable energy, the auto manufacturer said.

It manufactures a comprehensive range of cargo and passenger commercial vehicles across multiple powertrains, including next-generation zero-emission electric buses and trucks, as well as fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).

As someone who has family in Lucknow, it's heartening to see such a major industrial milestone. 8,000+ livelihoods supported is no small feat. The shift to electric vehicles is the right direction. Hope this brings more skilled job opportunities for the youth in the region.

A water-positive plant running on 100% renewable energy? That's the kind of responsible manufacturing India needs more of. Kudos to Tata for leading by example. The 1 trillion dollar economy vision for UP seems ambitious, but with such anchors, it might just be achievable.

While this is a proud moment, I hope the benefits truly reach the local communities. Sometimes big announcements don't translate to better roads or reduced pollution for the people living around these plants. The electric bus is a good step, but the overall public transport in UP needs massive improvement.

Impressive scale and a clear vision for sustainability. The partnership between a corporate giant like Tata and the state government seems to be working well here. The focus on skill development is crucial for long-term growth. Other states should take note of this model.

Tata trucks are the backbone of Indian logistics! Seeing them lead the charge into electric commercial vehicles gives me hope. My father used to drive one. The reliability is unmatched. Wishing the Lucknow plant and all its workers many more milestones. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
