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.

Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at loopbough showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.
Jaylennus
Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to flowlegend only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.
VincentGax
Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at ivypier kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.
JonahNak
This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked neatdawn I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.
GabrielTuh
The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at discoverfreshopportunities 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.
Wileygah
Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at everattic 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.
Frankzep
Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after fawngate I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.
Bradfordjak
A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at neatdawns continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.
DeshawnOweme
Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at discoverhiddenopportunitiesnow 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.
AxelReick
Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at ideastointent kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.
ClydeFar
Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at clarityoverchaos adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.
TyroneFriep
Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at createclaritysystems 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.
Lucatab
Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at vitalsnippet 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.
MicahKib
Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at findyourgrowthdirection earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.
JayShema
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to learnandscaleprogressively 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.
RandyHak
Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at eastglaze reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.
JudsonSek
Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at ideasdrivenforward extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.
SonnyFinly
Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering, and a stop at quillglade extended that distinctive approach, content that maintains a different perspective without explicitly arguing against the dominant ones is content with confident editorial identity and this site has that confidence throughout pieces.
HermanPayon
A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at findgrowthopportunityspace 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.
HaroldNic
Glad I gave this a chance rather than scrolling past, and a stop at lunacourt confirmed I made the right call, sometimes the best content is hidden behind unassuming headlines that do not scream for attention and learning to slow down and check those out has paid off many times now across years of reading.
DonaldClumb
A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at seoloom 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.
Iraovank
Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at buildideasintomotion extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.
KonnorOdowl
Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at bravopier reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.
LelandSooda
The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at startmovingdecisively continued the same voice, this kind of editorial consistency is a sign of either a single careful writer or a tightly run team and either is impressive today across the broader media environment.
JohnFAG
Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at growthbyfocus extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.
Jesustoums
Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at jetdome confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.
Hankbuh
Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at neatglyph drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.
Rodrigobaisa
The clarity here is something I really appreciate, especially compared to sites that pile on jargon for no reason, and a look at fondarbor was the same, simple direct sentences that actually deliver information instead of dancing around the point for paragraphs at a time which wastes reader patience.
CarlosSnirl
Reading this confirmed a hunch I had been carrying about the topic without having articulated it, and a stop at irisbureaus 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.

XanderVak
Bookmark earned and shared the link with one specific person who would care, and a look at edenfair got the same targeted share, sharing carefully rather than broadcasting is a discipline I try to maintain and this site is generating shares from me at a sustainable rate rather than the spam rate of viral content.
Joenes
Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at explorefutureclarity reinforced the recommendation strength, the difference between mentioning and recommending is a small editorial distinction I observe in my own conversations and this site has earned the upgraded recommendation level from me confidently today.
ReedGar
Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at feathalo 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.
LanceUnsef
Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at discovernewfocus maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.
Gunnercab
Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at harborstonemerchantgallery continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.
DamianApast
Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at findgrowthalignment confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.
FreddieBiono
A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at quirkbazaar 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.
JacegaR
Liked how the post handled an objection I was forming as I read, and a stop at focusdrivengrowth similarly anticipated where my thinking was going next, the rare writer who can predict reader concerns and address them in advance is doing something most online content fails to do despite that being basic editorial work.
Duncanskize
Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at discoverdirectionalclarity extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.
Zanelek
Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to meritquay 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.
JonathanNix
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 jetmanor 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.
Wilsonreorn
A genuine pleasure to find a site that publishes at a sustainable cadence rather than chasing the daily content treadmill, and a look at ideasneedfocus confirmed the careful publication rhythm, sites that prioritise quality over frequency are rare and this one has clearly chosen the slower pace which I appreciate as a reader.
Walkerrof
Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at neatmill 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.
AidanReush
Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at createactionablegrowth 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.
ShawnLek
Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at draftlogs extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.
Erikwoure
Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at ebonfig kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.
JudsonJAG
Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at vandaltavern extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.
Luisvew
Top quality material, deserves more attention than it probably gets, and a look at forgecabin reflected the same effort across the site, a hidden gem in the modern web where most attention goes to whoever shouts loudest rather than whoever actually delivers the best content for their readers without much marketing fanfare.
Iraphene
Generally my comment to other readers about new sites is to wait and see but for this one I would jump to recommend now, and a look at discovercleanstrategies reinforced that early recommendation, the speed at which a site earns my recommendation is itself a quality signal and this one has earned mine quickly clearly.
SamuelVophy
Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to amberharborartisanexchange only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.
