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.

Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at growresultsdrivenstrategy confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.
HankJar
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at learnandprogressfurther provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.
Traceerese
Considered against the flood of similar content this one stands apart in important ways, and a stop at createbetterdecisions extended that distinctive feel, sites that find their own corner of a crowded topic and stay there are sites worth following and this one has clearly carved out its own space and committed to defending it carefully.

Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at learnandapplystrategies 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.
Generaree
Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at tennisvortex kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.
ColbyLof
Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at learnandbuild earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.
Bernardisord
Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at discoverinnovativegrowthpaths confirmed that economical approach runs across the site, knowing when to stop is a skill many writers never develop but here the discipline is obvious and welcome from the perspective of a busy reader trying to learn things efficiently.
Chancedob
Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at startyournextdirection produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.
Beaurob
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at learnandprogressnow 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.
Shermancox
Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after startwithclearfocus my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.
Earlkit
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at createforwardsteps extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
AndyThalm
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at createprogressdirection carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.
Emersonkig
Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at seotactic kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.
JacobHulty
Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at seovista furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.
Gerardoomicy
Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at explorefutureoptionsnow continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.
Alfonsobug
Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at etherfair kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.
Kimscake
Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at learnandprogresssteadilynow continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.
Cristiannat
A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at growwithconfidenceandclarity only made that gap wider in my view, the kind of place that earns its visitors through quality rather than through aggressive marketing or sponsored placements which is increasingly the only way most sites stay afloat across the modern web.
TannerTig
Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at itucox continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.
KentonIcomy
A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at findmomentumnextstep continued that intellectual honesty, content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.
GuyGremo
Reading this on a phone at a coffee shop and finding it perfectly suited to that context, and a stop at discovermeaningfuldirection continued the comfortable mobile experience, content that works across reading conditions without compromising on substance is increasingly important and this site has clearly thought about the whole reader experience here.
Calebdit
Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at buildstrategicmovement reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.
Lincolnjax
Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at learnandmoveforward suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.
Perrybag
Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at learnandgrowstrong similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.
Justinlyday
The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at discovernewanglesnow kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.

Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to learnandapplywisely maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.
Gradyzes
Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at growwithfocusedexecution extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
Beaumek
Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at learnandoptimizegrowth extended that reflective pause, content that earns time for thought after closing the tab is content of higher value than the merely interesting and this site has clearly produced that lasting effect today.
CarmineVem
If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at learnandoptimizepathway continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.
Gerardoexorm
Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at learnandrefineapproach kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.
Frankspous
Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at findyourcompetitiveedge confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.
JamesDob
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at explorefuturegrowthlanes 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.
Nicolasclief
Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after shopmint I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.
BernardDax
Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at findnewopportunitypaths added a few more pages I will pass along too, this is the kind of generous information that earns a small thank you from me right now and again later this week.
Alanser
Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at buildsmartplanning confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.
QuentinOreta
Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at exploreuntappeddirectionpaths kept that standard going strong, content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.
Judsonnob
Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at explorefreshstrategicgrowth suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.
Jorgenet
Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at startbuildingstrategically confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.
AlexGailk
The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at findnewperspective continued in the same accessible style, technical topics often hide behind specialised vocabulary but here the writer trusts the reader to keep up with plain language and that trust pays off nicely throughout the entire post.
BertramPaync
Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through unicorntempo only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.
SimonSaica
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at ivafix kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Dennisrox
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at startmovingstrategically kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
MurrayWhops
Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at discovercreativepathsnow kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.
Timjef
Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at findyourwinningdirection only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.
TannerEteby
Came in skeptical and left mostly convinced, that is the highest praise I can offer, and a look at seostreet pushed me further in the same direction, content that survives a critical first read is rare and worth recognising because most blog posts crumble under any real scrutiny these days when you actually pay attention closely.
DonovanTuh
Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at growfocusedprogressnow took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.
Joewed
Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at buildsmartforwarddirection continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.
Stuartmic
A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at findmomentumnextstage continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.
