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.

Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at roseharbortradehall 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.
GunnerNub
Found the section structure particularly thoughtful, and a stop at elveecho suggested the same care across the broader site, structural choices guide the reader through the material in ways most people do not consciously notice but feel the absence of when those choices are made carelessly or not at all.
ArchCog
Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at garnetharbortradeparlor 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.

Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at dunecoveartisanexchange 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.
Caincloge
Felt the post handled a sensitive angle of the topic with appropriate care, and a look at oakarenas extended that careful handling across related material, sites that can navigate delicate territory without causing damage are rare and require a level of judgement that comes from experience rather than from following any clear playbook.
Felixseign
Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon, and a stop at pacecabin earned the same fresh attention, content that rewards being read at full attention rather than at energy lows is content with real density and this site has that density consistently.
ClydeEnefs
Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at finkglint 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.
EthanDus
Now considering the post as evidence that careful blog writing is still possible, and a look at startpurposeledgrowth extended that evidence, the broader question of whether the modern web can sustain quality writing has obvious empirical answers in sites like this one and seeing them is reassuring even when they remain a minority overall today.
CordellPef
Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at fernpier confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.
CoryCen
Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at forestcovemerchantgallery held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.

Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at explorefuturefocusedideas continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.
Lucasbroob
Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at kilzavo 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.
Marcusunams
During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at violetharbortradeparlor 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.
Andreduaxy
Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at findyourcorepurpose 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.
JosiahMiz
A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at elveglide maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.
MiloJES
Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at explorefreshsolutions continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.
WilliamGrego
Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at firminlet continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.
KalebBup
Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at echobrookcraftcollective extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.
DominicLef
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at kinmuzo also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
Kalebenect
Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at buildyourvisionpath extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.
DillonHok
Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at explorefreshstrategies extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.
KaiMup
Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at gladeharbormarkethall 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.
Alecvef
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to startwithclearfocusnow 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.
Quincyhob
Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at palmcodex did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.
IvanPeany
Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at snowcoveartisanexchange confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.
CecilBruff
Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at coralmeadowcommercegallery 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.
Wilfordimmew
Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after ivoryharborcommercegallery I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.
Ronniesmiva
A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at embermeadowartisanexchange maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.
JaydenDex
Genuine reaction is that this site clicked with how I like to read, and a look at glassharbortradehall kept that comfortable fit going, sometimes you find a place online whose editorial decisions just align with your preferences and when that happens it is worth recognising and supporting through repeat engagement consistently going forward.
WarrenSlurf
Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at draftlake 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.
Jessemah
Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at elvegorge 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.
PedroJup
I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at bayharborartisanexchange the points came together nicely for me, the writing keeps things straightforward and respects the reader from start to finish without ever talking down to anyone.
TaylorWrivy
Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at claritycreatesresults 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.
Kilebible
A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at kinquro extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.
Rossheisp
Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at startbuildingclarity the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.
Laynelet
Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at palminlet extended the same fresh angle, finding original perspective on familiar subjects is rare and this site has clearly developed its own way of seeing rather than echoing the dominant takes from elsewhere consistently.
Duanesen
If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at flareaisle extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.
DuanePlete
Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at etheraisle 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.
Ginovop
Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at berrycoveartisanexchange reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.
BeauWrela
Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at snowcovecraftcollective confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.
RogerWeR
Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to buildactionableforwardsteps I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.
Leoknind
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at embermeadowcraftcollective reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.
EddieDAH
Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at draftlog extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.
TommyImica
A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at berrycovecraftcollective continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
PeterWrods
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at discovernewpossibility confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.
