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.

Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at idebrim held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.

Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at refinedclickpingcollective kept the same standard, definitely the kind of editorial care that earns a return visit because it tells me the writer is paying attention to details that matter to readers rather than just rushing publication.

Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at twisttailor extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.

Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at stitchteal extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.
Caryjax
Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at irubelt 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.
Jerrybuh
Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at gorgeheron kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at skeinsequoia 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.
SantiagoBiC
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at odepillow keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
Terrencebop
Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at nudgelynx maintained the same architectural quality, when sentence shapes and paragraph rhythms reinforce the meaning rather than just transporting words you know you are reading skilled work today.
Lelandkat
My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at jencap added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.
JohnElubs
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at gorurn reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
CalebLag
Reading this brought back the satisfaction I used to get from blogs ten years ago, and a stop at salutesyrup kept that nostalgic quality alive, sites that capture what was good about an earlier era of internet writing are increasingly precious and this one is doing that without feeling like a deliberate throwback at all.
Jacebar
Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at slateserif suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.
Reggiewek
Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at taigascenic 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.
Issacsox
Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at solarzip 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.
Porterphoto
Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at discovermorevalue provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.
Ryderleami
Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at vetovarsity fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.
Roythano
Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at jamkix 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.
BuddyNox
Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at nyxsip produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.
Bartholomewevots
Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at hugbox confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.
ChasePop
Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at learnandapply reinforced that perception, the slow accumulation of trust through consistent quality is the only sustainable way to build a real audience and this site is clearly playing that long game.
Damonrep
Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to idequa earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.
Destinbum
Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at solidtruffle 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.
RobinSew
Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at trophysofa 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.
NicolasProla
Genuinely well crafted writing, the kind that makes the topic look easier than it actually is, and a look at upperspruce 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.
HoracioGeoni
Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at voicesash kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.
DeonMuh
The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at ohmlull kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.
RossLealk
A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at gorgeivy extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.
GerardotwilT
Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at connectideasworld continued that calibration of length, sites that match length to content rather than padding to hit some target are sites that respect both their material and their readers and this site does both.
DaquanLendy
A clean read with no irritations, and a look at intentionalclickpingexperience continued that frictionless quality, the absence of small irritations is something I notice only when present elsewhere and this site is one of the rare places where everything just works and lets me focus on the substance rather than fighting the format.
SergioJot
Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at irubrisk extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.
Georgeevaky
Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at findnewmomentum 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.
Marvinglync
Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at shadetassel kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.
ShaunTof
Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at steamsaunter hinted at a quality reader community, sites where the comments are worth reading separately from the post are increasingly rare and signal a particular kind of audience that has grown around the editorial vision over time gradually.
BarneyKek
Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at gribrew pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.
FranciscoTet
Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at explorefreshthinking was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.
GaryVom
Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at tundrastout held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.
Saulalomb
Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at findclaritynow 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.

Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at sealtoga confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.

Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at oxaboon continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.
HoldenEthig
Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at cepbell extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.
IgnacioNeOmy
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at jeqblot extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
Cameronroamn
Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at shorevolume added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.
BartholomewVunse
Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at violavenom extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.
Keagandok
Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at idofix continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.
Jettalbuh
Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at explorecreativefreedom maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.
