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.

Picked up on several small touches that suggest a careful editor, and a look at discoverpowerfuldirectionalpaths suggested the same hand at work across the broader site, editorial consistency at a granular level is one of the strongest signs that an operation is serious rather than just hobbyist and this site reads as serious throughout.

Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at glassmeadowvendorparlor continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.
Tuckerwhale
Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at leafdawn added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.
Damionteemo
Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at directionbeforevelocity added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.
Sterlingjuimi
Recommended without hesitation if you care about careful coverage of this topic, and a stop at figfeat reinforced the recommendation, the bar I set for unhesitating recommendations is fairly high and this site has cleared it through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good pieces rather than through any single standout post which is meaningful.
Jordandar
Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at createactionableprogress added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.
Justinthuff
Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at globehaven kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.
Miltonjoumb
Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at daisycovecraftcollective 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.
Grahamspame
High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at dazzquay kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.
EverettOdona
If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at createforwardthinking confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.
Kendallgrert
Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at caramelharborvendorparlor 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.
Iramam
Genuinely well crafted writing, the kind that makes the topic look easier than it actually is, and a look at growwithpurposeandfocus 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.
FelixUtefs
Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at cadetgrail earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.
Toddornab
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at hazelharborartisanexchange maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.
Jeromecot
Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at elitefests added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.
Brycefelve
A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at explorefreshgrowthstrategies 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.
WilfordLaf
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at maplegrovemarkethall kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
Timothyagilk
Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at eliteledge 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.
Horaciohed
Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at fernharborcommercegallery pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.
JuddRal
Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at driftorchardartisanexchange 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.

If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at finchfiber confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.
Melvinenrow
Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at dewdawn held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Tobycar
Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at flintmeadowcommercegallery extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.
Jettagrix
Now feeling the rare pleasure of trusting a source completely on first encounter, and a look at palmmill extended that initial trust into something more durable, the calibration of trust to evidence is something I do informally and this site has earned high trust through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good posts already.
DannyREova
Took a quick scan first and then went back to read properly because the post deserved it, and a stop at oakarena kept me reading carefully too, the kind of writing that earns a slower second pass rather than getting skimmed and forgotten is something I value highly when I happen to find it.
Alonzobip
Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at wheatcovegoodsgallery confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.
CliffordzoomI
Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at caramelharborcommercegallery 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.
RickyMog
Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at kavunzo added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.
DeanAmock
Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at elmhilt reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.
EliasKesia
Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at growresultsorientedpath continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.
DarrenDus
Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at startsmartgrowth extended that pleasure across more pages, the unexpected reward of stumbling into careful writing is one of the small ongoing pleasures of reading the open web and this site is delivering it reliably.
Paulfumma
Appreciate the thoughtful approach, the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert, and a look at elitedawns kept that going nicely, easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.
LutherAbask
During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at discoverhiddenopportunity continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.
Angelostulp
Generally my attention drifts on long posts but this one held it through the end, and a stop at goldmanor 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.
MicahAssup
Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at flintmeadowmarkethall added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.
RobinSoicy
Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at fernbureau sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.
Howardanodo
Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at ivoryridgeartisanexchange reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.
ForestGoogy
Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at intentionalforwardmotion kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.
HankNoF
During a quiet evening reading session this provided just the right depth without being heavy, and a stop at driftorchardcraftcollective maintained the same evening appropriate weight, content with depth that does not exhaust the reader is content with editorial calibration and this site has clearly figured out how to be substantial without being demanding all the time.
Octaviodooks
Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at domelegend pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.
Barrytom
A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at startyourforwardmove carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.
WilburBab
Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at finkglaze kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.
Carlosbiz
Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at opaldune 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.
Boydthica
A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at musebeats kept the same patient pace, the difference between unhurried and slow is a fine editorial distinction and this site has clearly found the unhurried side without slipping into the slow side which would have lost me as a reader quickly otherwise.
Rodolfowinty
Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at growwithdeliberateaction continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.
BasilPhall
Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at explorebetterthinking 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.
Ricksluff
Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at learnandexecuteclearlynow 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.
DonRhymn
Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at coastharbormerchantgallery extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.
PerryCrype
Solid post, the structure is easy to follow and the language stays simple even when the topic gets a bit more involved, and a look at epicestate kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.
