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.

Мечтаешь о незабываемом отпуске? https://karta-abhazii.ru где величественные горы встречаются с бескрайним морем, а история оживает на каждом шагу, добро пожаловать в Абхазию!

Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at createforwardexecutionsteps kept the same flow going, you can tell when a writer has thought about how their content reads rather than just what it contains and this is one of those examples.

If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at momentumbymindset extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.
Leoadeda
Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at salemsolid extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.
AndyAleVy
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at edendomes extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.
Tomlib
Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at mochamarket kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.
KyrieRaide
Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at frostcoasts kept that ranking intact, ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.
SkylarUnsub
A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at buildsmartprogress extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.
ErnestoMax
Thank you for being clear and direct, that simple approach saves so much frustration on the reader’s end, and a stop at portguild only made me more sure of it, the rest of the content seems to follow the same pattern which is a great sign of consistent editorial care behind the scenes.
YorkFum
Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at lobbydawn 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.
JaylenTraNk
Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at grippalace continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.
Keithquign
Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at ideasintoexecution extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.
Donmok
Found the rhythm of the prose particularly enjoyable on this read through, and a look at fernbureaus kept that musical quality going across the related pages, sentence rhythm is something most blog writers ignore but it makes a real difference in how content lands with the careful reader who cares.
BennieVek
I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at zingtorch 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.
SilasVisse
A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at firminlet extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.
Davepef
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 driftfair 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.
Sterlingweerm
Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at explorefuturepathways produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.
Rudysok
Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at ideasworthmoving continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.
BradSaila
One of the more honest takes on the topic I have seen lately, no spin and no oversell, and a stop at fairfinch kept that going, the kind of voice the open web could use a lot more of rather than the endless echo chamber of recycled opinions floating around every social platform these days.
EanFum
A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at jetdomes suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.
Andynoida
Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at fernpiers kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.
Matttor
Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at coppercrown extended that quiet solving, content that addresses unformulated needs is content with reader insight and this site has demonstrated that insight at a high rate across the pieces I have read recently.
BruceMer
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at portmill 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.
LesterMeada
Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at loopbough reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.
Iratrect
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at grovefarm 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.
Robingam
Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at createactionforward also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.
TylerHarry
Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at focusdrivenmomentum extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.
Carlasymn
Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at knackgrove maintained the same restraint, knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.
EdgarMaply
Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at executeideasclean kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.
CedricRaw
My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at ideasintoresults pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.
Roccoskani
A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at duetparishs 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.
MikeGlage
Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at startmovingforward 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.
DiegoHig
Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at flareaisle keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.
SethCycle
Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at zingtrace extends that value across the rest of the site, this is the kind of place that rewards return visits rather than offering everything in a single splashy post and then leaving readers nothing to come back for later which is unfortunately common.
Erickfex
Skipped to a specific section because I knew that was the question I had, and the answer was clean, and a stop at buildclaritydrivenmomentum similarly delivered targeted answers without burying them, content engineered for readers who arrive with specific needs rather than open ended browsing is increasingly valuable in a search heavy reading environment.
PrinceCaL
Now understanding why someone recommended this site to me a while back, and a stop at findyourclearpath explained the recommendation, sometimes recommendations make sense only after experience and this site has finally clicked into place as the kind of resource I now understand was being recommended for sound editorial reasons by my friend.
Murraychozy
Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at createimpactplanningnow got the same redundant treatment, sites I am afraid to lose are the rare keepers and this is clearly one of them based on what I have read so far across this and a couple of related posts.
Garyfip
Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at duetcoast extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.
Ianbut
Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at vitalsummit only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.
Daxpew
Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to falconfern 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.
MasonCen
Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at knackdomes reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.
Damianassum
Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at simplifyyourprogress 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.
Drewlar
Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry, and a stop at seogrove continued that balance, technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.
AriPlaph
The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at portolive 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.
Armandosaive
Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at lunacourt maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.
Wallaceves
Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at grovequay 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.
BrentReoxy
Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at progressbuiltcarefully 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.
LeviSwany
However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at bravopiers 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.
GregWhery
Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at flarefest did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.
Landynlox
Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at clarityfuelsgrowth continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.
