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.

Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at growstepbystrategy did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.
Lucasmew
Considered against the flood of similar content this one stands apart in important ways, and a stop at learnandprogressintentionally 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.

Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at createimpactfocuseddirection extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
Brycemob
The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at seoharbor added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.
MarcoBut
Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at growwithstrategyintentnow extended that antidote function, sites that quietly improve the average quality of my reading by being themselves are sites worth supporting through return visits and recommendations consistently.
SaulVig
Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at discovernewanglestoday confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.
Bryantek
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at buildsustainabledirection 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.
Coryevabs
Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at buildpositiveoutcomes extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.
BuddyOwnen
Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at growfocusedprogress confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.
TerrenceAmari
Worth recognising the absence of the usual blog tropes here, and a look at growresultsdriven continued that fresh quality, sites that avoid the standard moves of the medium read as more original even when the content is on familiar topics and this one has clearly chosen its own path through the conventional terrain skilfully.
HerbertUsalf
The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at createprogressfocusedstrategy 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.
Nathanronee
A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at startbuildingfuture maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.
Nelsonpor
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 startyournextmove 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.
JoeGaids
Found this useful, the points line up well with what I have been thinking about lately, and a stop at findyournextphase 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.

Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at discovernewdirectionpathsnow 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.

Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed explorefuturepathways I had a clearer sense of the topic, no extra fluff just useful points laid out in a sensible order that made the time worth it.

Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at ivebump extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.
Floydtwesy
Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at createimpactforward carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.
NashJet
Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at claritydrivenexecution extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.
GeneBaT
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at startyourgrowthpath keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
NicholasNoult
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at discovernextdirection 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.
JuanImmip
I came here looking for a quick answer and ended up reading the whole post because it was actually interesting, and after cadetgrail I had a much fuller picture, no stress and no confusion just a clear walk through the topic that made everything fall into place without much effort.
LeonardUnone
If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at forwardthinkingengine extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.
JoelIcows
Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at findgrowthopportunitiesnow added a couple more, the kind of place that sticks in the memory long after the browser tab has been closed for the day which says a lot really.
Bradleyzet
Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at growfocusedexecutionnow kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.
ArthurRiz
Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at learnandgrowforward extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.
LinwoodImamn
Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at buildstrongfoundations only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.
Kendrickboank
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 explorefuturepathwaysfast 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.

Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at buildlongtermdirection extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.
ChanceLoace
Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at findyournextgrowthstage 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.
Yorktex
Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at clearpathcreation was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.
ClintonJeaby
Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at learnandprogressconsistently extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
AriCax
Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at buildpositiveforwardmotion did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.
KyrieAbips
Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at shoreskipper reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.
Dwightfruts
Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at findgrowthchannelsnow 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.
Rolandtot
Genuinely well crafted writing, the kind that makes the topic look easier than it actually is, and a look at learnandrefineprogressnow added even more depth, you can feel the experience behind every line which is something only writers who have been at this for a while can pull off with this level of grace.
Theodorelic
A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at createclarityframework 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.
KobeMab
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at discovergrowthdirectionpaths extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.
Donaldtag
Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at veilshore reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.
MarkDum
Now setting up a small reminder to revisit the site on a slow day, and a stop at createforwardsteps confirmed the reminder was a good idea, planning return visits is a small organisational act that signals trust in ongoing quality and this site has earned that planned return through consistent performance across the pieces I have read so far.
RileyZen
Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at pebbletrailvendorstudio continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.
ClydeGeali
A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at executewithfocus extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.
ChanceRek
Worth bookmarking and sharing with anyone interested in the topic, that is my honest take, and a stop at buildsmartdirectionalplans reinforces that, the kind of generous resource that makes the open web feel worth defending against the constant pressure to retreat into walled gardens and curated feeds today everywhere I look across all my devices.
Karlmem
Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at discovernewfocusareas prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.
Chancevek
A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at ixaqua 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.
Jonathannox
Generally my attention drifts on long posts but this one held it through the end, and a stop at findyourcorestrength earned the same sustained focus, content that defeats my drift tendency is content with substantive pulling power and this site has demonstrated that pulling power across multiple pieces in a session that has now run quite long actually.
