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.

The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at designfocusedcommerce 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.
Gregorypoist
Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to learnandexpand kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.
Ricogrick
Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at biablur continued that intellectual honesty, content that does not force closure on contested questions is content that respects the limits of knowledge and this site has clearly developed the maturity to know when to leave space.
WilliamLak
Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at exploreideasfreely carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.
Buddyagisp
Adding this site to my regular reading list, the post earned that on its own, and a quick stop at senatetrench sealed the decision, the kind of place worth checking back with from time to time because it consistently produces material that holds up against a critical reading too which I really value.
Warrentap
Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at heyaro 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.
Patrickfepay
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at findyournextidea extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.
RoryAlina
If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at jadyam reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.
Cadenlesia
Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at startbuildingpurpose continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
CurtisDop
Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at jaycap produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.
LyleRon
Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at learnandgrowfaster extended that recalibration, the standards I bring to reading on the topic have shifted upward as a direct result of regular exposure to this kind of work and that shift will outlast any single reading session.
XanderPrini
Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at scopeskylark 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.
Terrellteaxy
Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at discovergrowthstrategies 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.
Leorop
My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at ilefix pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.
ColbyWip
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at taffetaswan added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.

Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at derburn extended that wish into a broader hope, sites built on substance and care rather than on metrics and growth are the kind of sites I want to see more of and this one is a small example worth supporting.
TimSaf
Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at growstepbystep continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
Eduardobeage
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at growwithconfidencenow 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.
Emiliorer
Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at humzap reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.
Devantelib
Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward, and a stop at biabrook reinforced that subtle shift, the rare content that actually moves my thinking rather than just confirming or filling it is the kind I most value and this site is providing that kind of impact today.
Keithkip
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to buildstrategicfocus 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.
IraBiz
Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at explorepossibilitiestoday 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.
SergioDyero
A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at jikbond maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.
Angeloademe
Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at silverumber kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader’s time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.
Cristianarons
Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at heritageinspiredgoods 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.
ManuelsmOds
Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at learnandprogress extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.
Mylescor
Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at explorenewdirections 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.
Lloydhop
Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at unlockcreativeideas extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.
Luisanito
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 buildbetterhabits 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.
Dravenkew
Really like the way the post resists reaching for cliches that would have made it feel generic, and a quick visit to learnandtransformideas kept that fresh feel going, original phrasing and unexpected metaphors are signs that the writer is actually thinking rather than just stitching together familiar phrases into the appearance of content.
LeviBew
Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at createimpactframework 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.
JamieRib
Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at syruptunic 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.
EvanPhyNc
Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at buildyournextstep 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.

ReginaldBut
Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at exploreinnovativegrowth extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.
Rolandtunse
Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at discoverforwardpaths reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.
GrahamDrodo
Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at ilenub continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.
XanderGup
A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at createvisionforward maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.
Patrickjak
Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at doxfix extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.
HenryexEse
Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at shamrockveil added fuel to that, the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.
VictorNog
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at hirpod continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.
Henryelina
Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at learnandapplyfast continued in that vein, sometimes you find a site whose perspective lines up with how you have been thinking and reading their work feels like a small relief which I appreciated more than I expected.
CraigPlemy
Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at globalpremiumfinds added even more concrete examples, this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.
Ivanrog
A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at siriustender carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.
Davionspilk
Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at buildbetterdecisions suggested the same depth would translate, content that makes me want to pay for related work in other formats is content that has earned commercial trust as well as attention trust and this site has both clearly.
Terrenceexcal
Started a draft response in my head and ended without publishing it because the post said it well enough, and a look at createfuturevision produced the same effect, content that satisfies my urge to add to it by being complete enough on its own is rare and represents a particular kind of editorial completeness here.
RaulSpobe
Quality writing that respects the reader’s intelligence without overloading them, and a quick look at uplandharborvendorparlor reflected that approach, a balanced thoughtful site that earns trust by being consistent rather than by shouting about how trustworthy it is which is the usual approach online sadly across most content categories.
Arnoldced
Bookmark earned and shared the link with one specific person who would care, and a look at createimpactroadmap got the same targeted share, sharing carefully rather than broadcasting is a discipline I try to maintain and this site is generating shares from me at a sustainable rate rather than the spam rate of viral content.
Dustinavoib
Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at createclaritysteps extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.
