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 recognising the post as a rare example of careful writing on a topic that mostly receives careless treatment, and a stop at shoreviper extended that contrast with the average elsewhere, content that highlights how much the average is settling for low quality is content that has both internal merit and external value as a benchmark.
Ryantem
Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at grohax 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.
Reginaldclima
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at scopeviceroy 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.
BeauTop
Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to japarrow kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.
Donnyhon
Started forming counter examples to test the claims and the post handled most of them implicitly, and a look at jesaria continued that anticipatory style, writers who think two steps ahead of the critical reader save themselves from a lot of follow up work and this writer has clearly internalised that habit consistently.
Borissap
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 hekblade 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.
ForestSog
Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at sambavarsity stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.
Kelbyspeed
Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at findmomentumnow added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.
KelbySkype
If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at huijax reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.
DustinTroub
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at learnbyexperience confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
Rydermix
If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at syxbolt extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.
KarlWeipt
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at operalucid 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.
RaulFROCA
Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at itobout 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.
GradyTom
Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at crearena 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.
GuyEvado
Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at swiftswallow gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.
Brendanrep
Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at buildsuccessmindset earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.

LonnieBoage
Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at towershimmer 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.
CoenJak
Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at startbuildingnow extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.
FletcherHab
Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at findpurposequickly only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.
AidanWam
Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at curatedqualityhub continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.
AndreMax
A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at serifsorbet maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.

DexterAdoth
This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at vincatrench kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.
Edgaremows
Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to gunbolt kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.
Jessecit
This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at sloganturban did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.
WarrenWed
Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at sheentrundle reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.

Floydgarne
Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at explorefuturepaths extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.
DonaldAlomo
This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at unicorntiger did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.
GriffindeW
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at orbitnomad kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Johnmed
Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at plumcovegoodsroom 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.
HectorBop
Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at explorefreshideas extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
RickyBus
Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at jevmox extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.
Juanbix
Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at crecall added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.
TannerTig
Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at itucox added a couple more, the kind of place that sticks in the memory long after the browser tab has been closed for the day which says a lot really.
Elliotrit
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 vyxarc did the same, brevity here feels intentional not lazy which is a distinction many writers miss completely sometimes when they are working under deadlines.
Felixnug
Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at discoverideasworthsharing added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.
RyderLox
Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at gunlex 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.
KeenanBrima
Started thinking about my own writing differently after reading, and a look at hekfox continued that reflective effect, content that influences how I work rather than just informing what I know is content with the highest kind of impact and this site has triggered some of that reflective influence today on me.
Calvinfub
The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at findyourdirectiontoday 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.
Tobybroar
Genuinely good work, the kind that holds up over multiple readings without losing its appeal, and a stop at sundaestudio 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.
TristanTwich
Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering, and a stop at tailorteal 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.
Chrisquari
I came here looking for a quick answer and ended up reading the whole post because it was actually interesting, and after jararch I had a much fuller picture, no stress and no confusion just a clear walk through the topic that made everything fall into place without much effort.
WileyHeexy
Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at modernlifestylemarketplace 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.
NoahAvabs
During a quiet evening reading session this provided just the right depth without being heavy, and a stop at stitchvamp 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.
Coenmom
If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at buildscalableideas extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.
DarrickLot
Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at scopevoice continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.
Edmundnat
Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at snareshale 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.
Rossfal
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at huiyam extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
