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.

Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at jadburst maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.
Theodoreflild
Good post, the kind that respects the reader by getting to the point quickly without skipping the details that matter, and a short look at explorefutureopportunityideas confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days, definitely a place I will return to soon.
Fernandoseria
Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at startwithclearstrategy kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.
Peterfoedy
Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at startthinkingstrategicallyfast only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.
Terrencenap
Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at createprogressjourney extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.
ThomasTem
If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at findyourcorepath reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.
Benjaminbaita
Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at findyournextbreakthrough extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.
Masonsoomb
Worth recognising the absence of the usual blog tropes here, and a look at joxaxis 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.
Cainluh
Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at createalignedactions maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.
Abrahamappap
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at learnandoptimizeexecution 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.
Adammut
Came away with some new perspectives I had not considered before, and after designbetteroutcomes 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.
LinwoodOpery
A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at buildpositiveoutcomes maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.
Krissib
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at exploreideaswithclarity prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
Jonstomy
Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at buildpositivegrowth only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.
KendrickLob
Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at learnandadvanceconfidently kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.
Ottoadvob
Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at buildfocusedmomentumnow continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.
GlenGax
Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at suburbvesper extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.
Ernestomap
Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at ravenharbortradehouse extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.
GagePsype
Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at growresultsdrivenpath confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.
RexWhoto
Useful reading material, the kind I can hand off to someone newer to the topic without worrying about confusing them, and a quick look at intentiondrivenprogress confirmed the same beginner friendly tone runs throughout the site which is great for sharing with people just starting their learning journey on this particular topic.
Maxwellguady
However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at jadkix continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.
AlfredoGinny
Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at startbuildingmomentumpath continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.
Bobnigah
Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at thinkforwardact continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.
Allenrhype
Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at findnewopportunitydirections added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.
Morganvusty
Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at creategrowthsystems maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.
Scottram
The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at growwithintentionalmovement kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.
KaneHus
Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at learnandtransformdirectionnow maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.
Tracefrupt
Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at discoveropportunitydirectionnow similarly rewarded careful reading from the start, content where every paragraph carries weight is content I now know to read from the beginning rather than skipping ahead.
Rubenser
Started thinking about my own writing differently after reading, and a look at findmomentumnext continued that reflective effect, content that influences how I work rather than just informing what I know is content with the highest kind of impact and this site has triggered some of that reflective influence today on me.
GavinGob
Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at directioncreatesenergy confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.
Wilfredsew
Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at startnextleveldirectionfast only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.
Emeryfut
Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at discovergrowthmindset 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.
KeenanEdine
Reading this confirmed a hunch I had been carrying about the topic without having articulated it, and a stop at explorefreshroutes extended the confirmation, content that gives shape to fuzzy intuitions is doing the rare work of making private thoughts public and this site is providing that articulating service consistently for me lately.
Paulheirm
In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at startwithclearstrategyfocus extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.
StanleyScevy
Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at directionalclarityhub extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.
HenryGax
Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at linencovevendorparlor continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.
RoryAlina
Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at jadyam continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.
Daltonfeerm
Bookmark earned, calendar reminder set, share queued, all from one good post, and a look at growwithsteadyfocus did the same, when a single reading session triggers multiple downstream actions you know the content has actually moved me beyond the page and this site is moving me at that higher level reliably.
Guyniz
I came here looking for a quick answer and ended up reading the whole post because it was actually interesting, and after createclearprogresspath 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.
Yusufreeve
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at actionwithalignment 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.
DwightRam
Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at buildlongtermvision extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.
MarcoKen
Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at learnandprogressconsistently continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.
WileyDrevy
Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at learnandadvanceclearly similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.
Kelbydub
Thanks for the honest framing without exaggerated claims that the topic will change my life, and a stop at startpurposefuldirection kept the same modest tone, restraint in marketing language signals trustworthiness and the writers here are clearly playing the long game by building credibility rather than chasing immediate clicks through hyperbole.
Lorenzothoft
Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at exploreuntappedopportunities extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Rickymouck
Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at exploreideaswithfocus 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.
BillCor
Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at discovernewfocusareasnow 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.
WesleyJoime
Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at progressbystrategy extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.
Rorybew
Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at lyxbark extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.
ZacharyJoisp
Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at discoverhiddenroutes extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.
