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 between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at ilonox 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.
Keaganrib
Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at qanviro continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.
IgnacioFuerm
Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at startyournextjourney reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.
CliffordLon
Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at tagtorch reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.
GilbertoGalge
Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to velourudon 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.
GlenFrorn
Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at halbelt produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.
Jeffreycix
Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at zulqaro 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.
LexGep
If I had to summarise the editorial sensibility of this site in a few words it would be careful and human, and a look at hoxaero extended that summary feeling, capturing the essence of a sites approach in brief is hard but this site has a clear enough identity that the summary comes naturally enough.
DevanteClalm
Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at souptrigger confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.
Oscarjeday
Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at meownoon 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.
Leonnable
Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at gonggrip earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.
threeoaktreasures
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at threeoaktreasures continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.
Warrenhar
Genuine reaction is that this site clicked with how I like to read, and a look at tundraturtle 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.
Lloydtaw
Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at tokenudon kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to and probably mentioning to others who work in or care about this particular area of interest today and in coming weeks.
Francistrutt
Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at fribrag 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.
Wyattsmite
Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at pebblelemon confirmed that economical approach runs across the site, knowing when to stop is a skill many writers never develop but here the discipline is obvious and welcome from the perspective of a busy reader trying to learn things efficiently.
AndydoorB
Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at stashswan extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.
Morrishum
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 brofix did the same, brevity here feels intentional not lazy which is a distinction many writers miss completely sometimes when they are working under deadlines.

A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at ibeburn suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.
KrisWhivy
Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at exploreinnovativeconcepts only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
Noelwep
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at storkumber maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
Evangor
Speaking as someone who reads a lot on this topic this site has earned a high position in my source rankings, and a stop at tidalurchin reinforced that ranking, the informal ranking of sources for a topic is something I maintain mentally and this site has moved into the upper portion of those rankings clearly.
Lowellcrype
Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at voguestraw similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.
JavonBouse
Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after imobush my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.

LuisMop
A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at triadsharp confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.
HoseaTaf
Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at sorreltavern continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.
RexNetle
Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at syncbyte did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.
Curtismedge
Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at fylbust only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.
LouisCop
Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at tacticstaff prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.
Piercetax
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at siskavarsity kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.
CoryChisa
Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at zulvexa extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.
Damiendaf
A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at pebblenovel continued that invisible polish, the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.
DarrellSheax
Reading this as part of my evening winding down routine fit perfectly, and a stop at seriftackle extended the wind down nicely, content that calms rather than agitates is what I want at the end of the day and this site provides that calming reading experience reliably which is increasingly rare across the modern web.
JamarcusRew
Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at gongjade confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.
JaxonNaf
Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at leveemotel kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.

PhillipCew
Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at byncane confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.
Malcolmvek
Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at exploreyourpotential kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.
KileCaple
A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at steamstraw maintained the same crisp conclusions, endings that resolve rather than dissolve are a sign of careful structural thinking and this site has clearly invested in how its pieces conclude rather than letting them simply run out of energy.
GradyJuiva
Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at velourturban 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.

This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts, and a look at jalborn suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too, this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.
KnoxEvots
I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at tritonsloop 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.
Bufordteera
Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at hoxfix adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.
Duncanodons
Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at halbrook produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.
Juddbem
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to mercymodel I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.
AllenRop
Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at swamptweed added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
Reginaldwaync
Quietly impressive in a way that does not announce itself, and a stop at stereotarot extended that quiet impressiveness, the kind of quality that emerges through sustained attention rather than first impressions is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has been earning that deeper trust across multiple sessions over time consistently.
