Prime Minister Keir Starmer has welcomed major new investments from Indian firms Atri Energy Transition and Hexaware Technologies into Britain’s clean energy infrastructure and AI sector - backing high-skilled jobs in cities including Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham while helping deliver more stable and affordable energy. These announcements underline UK’s standing as a leading destination for investment and highlight the strength of the UK-India Vision 2035 partnership, which is unlocking new growth opportunities for both our countries.   Mumbai-headquartered Hexaware Technologies is set to expand its presence in the UK through the expansion of its delivery centre in Birmingham and establishment of its R&D Centres in Manchester and Leeds. The investment will support innovation at scale in new and emerging technologies including AI and quantum computing and is expected to create around 1,200 jobs, supported by £25 million in capital investment.   Hyderabad-based clean energy investor Atri Energy Transition will invest more than £300 million in the UK to develop large-scale battery storage and advanced manufacturing. This includes new facilities supporting more than 100 jobs and helping store energy so it can be used when demand is highest.
