Tata group is preparing the blueprint to launch a ''battery company'' both in India and abroad as part of its transition to being future-ready, Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said on Wednesday.
Speaking at the CII Business Summit 2022, Chandrasekaran also said the group is ''in a massive transformation'' to become future ready and will shortly announce a group level goal towards becoming carbon neutral.
''We are transforming our core businesses to be future-ready, a transition where we are tightly integrating or embedding digital, data, AI and sustainability at the core of the business…,'' he said.
While the existing business is undergoing transformation, the group has also entered into new areas, Chandrasekaran said citing the example of the group's Tata Neu super app to prepare itself for an omni-channel consumer-facing ecosystem and the launch of a ''very large scale precision manufacturing electronics company which has global aspirations''.
He further said, ''We have launched a company for creating a 5G and beyond telecom gear for the global markets. We are preparing the blueprint to launch our battery company both in India and abroad.'' Chandrasekaran, however, did not elaborate on the details of the battery company.
Underlining the importance of sustainability, he said, ''We have a group level agenda on sustainability, which we will be announcing shortly where we have a group-level goal towards becoming carbon neutral. At the same time, we will address the huge impact that we can create on the communities.'' Stressing that the group is into carbon capture, he said, ''Water is a big theme across the group. Everyone, every company will not only become water neutral but we will go beyond that.''
Elaborating on the transition undertaken by the group's existing companies, Chandrasekaran said, ''Our auto company has made a significant transition in passenger cars. In fact, our market shares have gone up because we made this transition. In commercial vehicles, we are looking at alternative energy, we are looking at hydrogen fuel cells. We are doing the same thing in Jaguar Land Rover.''
The over USD 100 billion conglomerate's automotive arm Tata Motors is leading the electric passenger vehicles market in India in terms of sales through its models such as Nexon EV and Tigor EV. It has recently unveiled an electric concept AVINYA, based on which new electric models will come with an enhanced range of over 500 km. The commercial vehicles division of Tata Motors has also recently launched the all-electric version of its popular mini truck, Ace.
Chandrasekaran also said the group's power company, Tata Power, is shifting heavily towards not only utility-scale renewables but consumer renewables.
''We are doing the same thing in steel, not only in terms of recycling, but also in terms of preparing a blueprint towards hydrogen,'' he added.
When asked what could be added to the Tata brand, which is trusted widely with the group companies performing well, going forward, he said, it has to be the driving performance and become an aspirational one.

Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at discoverinnovativeideas kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.

Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at buildfocusedprogress continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.
KurtChone
Thanks for the clean writing, no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have, and a quick stop at horcall kept that polish going nicely, it really does make a difference when a reader can move through a page without tripping on every line or going back to reread.
CoryElado
Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at discoverinnovativethinking confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.
DomenicLut
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at discovernewdirectionnow confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
ShermanSyday
Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at startsmartmovement would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.
Brucenit
Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at buildgrowthdirection pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.
Deshawnwhads
Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at startthinkingbigger reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.
Gradycaw
Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after createforwardexecution those ideas felt more complete, the kind of content that stays with you a little while after reading rather than slipping out the moment you switch tabs and move on with your day to whatever comes next.
CharliePette
Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at growwithclaritynow kept the same standard, definitely the kind of editorial care that earns a return visit because it tells me the writer is paying attention to details that matter to readers rather than just rushing publication.
GeoffreyExpab
Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at buildsustainablemovement extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.
LeeGar
Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at learnandmoveahead confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.
Genetwify
Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at discovernewfocusareas extended that consistency observation, sites whose value lies in the ongoing pattern rather than in standout posts are sites I trust more deeply and this one has clearly built that kind of trust.
Abrahamtriem
Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at explorefutureclarity extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.
Tuckermar
Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at discovergrowthmindset kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.
Roccofoody
Found this useful, the points line up well with what I have been thinking about lately, and a stop at createvisionexecution added some angles I had not considered yet, definitely walking away with more than I came for which is the best outcome from time spent reading online for any kind of topic.
Matttor
A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at coppercrown maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.
Ervintog
This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts, and a look at exploreinnovativepathwaysnow suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too, this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.
Seancrync
Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at findyourtruefocus reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.
MarcosElerb
Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to startthinkingstrategically only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.
Irvinghoale
Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at learnandtransformfast extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.
SergioJot
Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after irubrisk I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.
JimmyInvah
Quietly impressive in a way that does not announce itself, and a stop at seoorbit extended that quiet impressiveness, the kind of quality that emerges through sustained attention rather than first impressions is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has been earning that deeper trust across multiple sessions over time consistently.

Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at startprogressnow confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.
Konnornom
A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at learnandoptimizegrowthpath carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.
Dustinatmom
I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at learnandexecuteclearly the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.
EzekielMup
Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at unlocknewopportunities adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.
Rolandbiz
Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at explorefreshstrategicpaths confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.
Cadennaise
Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at jebyam stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.
RufusBiz
A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at discovernewdirectionnow maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.
Walterfox
Glad I gave this a chance rather than scrolling past, and a stop at explorefutureopportunity confirmed I made the right call, sometimes the best content is hidden behind unassuming headlines that do not scream for attention and learning to slow down and check those out has paid off many times now across years of reading.
LeroyShupt
Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at growwithstrategyintent reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.
HarveyBab
Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at growintentionallyforward extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.
Lloydenell
Compared to the usual results for this kind of search this site stands well above the average, and a quick visit to growresultsoriented kept the standard high, you can tell within seconds whether a site is going to waste your time or actually deliver and this one clearly delivers without any false starts.
Arnoldhed
Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at growresultsfocused kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.
Chanceacing
A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at startpurposefullynow maintained the same scoped discipline, posts that try to cover too much end up covering nothing well and this site has clearly chosen scope discipline as a core editorial principle which shows up clearly in what I read.
AxelNeord
Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at hyxbrook added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
Coryclicy
Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at findgrowthpotential added even more concrete examples, this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.
Drewlar
Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at seogrove added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.
Sullivanflats
Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at createprogressmappingnow carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.
Rafaelmic
Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at createprogressframework extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.
Jacksonbef
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at growwithsteadyintent produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
Darrencom
Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at isebrook pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.
Georgetrors
Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at learnandadvancepath sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.
Ericwooma
Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at learnandadvancegrowth extended that secure tone, content that does not pre emptively argue against imagined critics has a different quality from defensive writing and this site reads as written from a place of real ease.
ColinClaps
Reading this in a quiet hour and finding it suited the quiet, and a stop at buildclaritymovement extended the quiet reading mood, content that matches its own optimal reading conditions rather than fighting them is content that has been thoughtfully calibrated and this site reads as having a particular reading mood in mind throughout.
Derricksteag
Now noticing that the post never raised its voice even when making a strong point, and a look at findyourstrongdirection continued that calm volume, content that can make important points without resorting to typographic emphasis or emotional appeal is content that trusts its substance to do the work and this site has that confidence consistently.
Brendonrix
Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at startmovingstrategicallynow kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.
CurtisBoums
A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at seoripple maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.
