NEW DELHI, India: Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has decided against manufacturing electric vehicles at Tata Motors' upcoming $1 billion factory in southern India, sources familiar with the matter said.

The decision marks a shift in JLR's production strategy as the luxury automaker grapples with cost challenges and slowing global demand for EVs.
