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.

Reading this triggered a small but real correction in something I had assumed, and a stop at discovernewroutes extended that corrective effect, content that updates my beliefs through evidence rather than rhetoric is content with intellectual integrity and this site has earned that label consistently across the pieces I have read so far today.

Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at buildsmartmovement confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.
GriffinMella
Appreciate that you did not pad this with fluff to hit a word count, the post says what it needs to say and stops, and a look at trancetidal did the same, brevity here feels intentional not lazy which is a distinction many writers miss completely sometimes when they are working under deadlines.
SamHaf
Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at startbuildinglongtermvision confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.
OscarKetty
Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at buildcleanmomentum 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.
HoseaNop
Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at createbetterdecisions extended that calm pace, content produced without time pressure has a different quality than content shipped to meet a deadline and this site reads as written without urgency which produces a different and better experience for readers.
Timbup
A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at pathwaytoprogress maintained the same focus on substance, content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.
Dilloninvit
Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at learnandexecutenow maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.
JamieVOT
Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at nutmegnetwork 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.
Johanfum
Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at growwithintentionalmovementnow confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.
SauledizE
Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at findyourcorepath extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.
KeaganUnile
Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at discoveruntappedangles 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.
Martinanact
A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end, and a look at createactionstepsnow maintained the same earned quality, conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.
Joenuara
Worth recognising the absence of the usual blog tropes here, and a look at discovernewstrategicangles 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.
Jacksonleand
If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at startnextlevelprogress reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.
BillyBlimb
Art gallery exhibitions came through Instagram visibility. Gallery owners discover artists through social metrics. I had to buy instagram views to catch gallery curators’ attention.
BillyBlimb
The drop-off problem is real but avoiding it is possible. I’ve learned which providers deliver sustainable view growth. Now whenever I buy instagram views, they stick around and continue generating algorithmic benefits long-term.
Kalealode
I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at discoveropportunityflows added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.
MaxWen
Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at growthwithalignment provided more material for that potential mention, content worth referencing in my own published work rather than just personal reading is content with the highest endorsement level and this site has earned that endorsement.
Nelsonbrate
Worth saying that this is one of the better things I have read on the topic in months, and a stop at learnandgrowstrong reinforced that ranking, the topic is well covered by many sources but few do it with this level of care and the few that do deserve to be flagged so other readers can find them.
Kennethhes
Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at chairchampion extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.
KyrieFat
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at discovergrowthdirectionnow continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.
MiloERasp
Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at fernbureau 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.
LutherMeaph
Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to tomatotactic reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.
Sheldonjar
A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at forwardactionframework added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.
ZacharyKella
Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at learnandscaleprogress held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.

DanielSniva
Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at buildfocusedmomentum kept the same focused approach going, defensive writing wastes the reader time and confidence on positions that did not need defending and this post has clearly avoided that common failure.
Yaleces
Quietly building a case in my head for why this site deserves more attention than it currently seems to receive, and a look at buildforwardclarity reinforced the case, the gap between quality and recognition is a recurring frustration in independent online content and this site is one of the cases that seems particularly egregious to me today.
Wyattcig
Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at findmomentumnext confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.
CooperFub
Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at createbetteroutcomesnow continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.
Omarspeap
Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at palmmills closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.
Javonzef
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to brightbanyan confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.
ChaseDok
Now thinking the topic is more interesting than I had given it credit for, and a stop at opaldunes continued that elevated interest, content that revives my curiosity about subjects I had set aside is doing genuine work in the structure of my interests and this site is providing that revivifying effect today actually.
LloydThuch
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at curiopacts 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.
NathanAerop
Started thinking about my own writing differently after reading, and a look at graingrove 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.
ErnestoMax
Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at portguild continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.
YorkFum
Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to lobbydawn kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.
Leroysem
Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to focuscreatesprogress maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.
JuddTwets
Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at explorefutureopportunitypaths held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.
BennieVek
Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at zingtorch extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.
Bradfordapags
Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at micapacts confirmed the send was the right choice, choosing whom to share content with is a small act of curation that I take more seriously than the public sharing most platforms encourage these days online.
Kimcrade
Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at createwithintention 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.
HaroldSlown
The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at fernpier kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.
Bradlet
Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at draftport continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.
Mikebeing
Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at findyourwinningdirection would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.
Nevilleget
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at findgrowthdirections added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
JaceVox
Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to ideaswithtraction earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.
ShawnCot
Took me back a step or two on an assumption I had been making, and a stop at buildforwardthinkingmomentum pushed that reconsideration further, writing that gently corrects the reader without being aggressive about it is a rare diplomatic skill and the team here clearly knows how to land critical points without turning readers off.
