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.

A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end, and a look at jazbox maintained the same earned quality, conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.

Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at explorefreshapproaches kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.
Kevinbab
Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at discoverfuturepaths only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.
Stanskymn
Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at exploreuntappedideas extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.
Lucianmut
Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at explorefreshthinkingnow reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.
Curtiscrurn
Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at hunhax added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.
KirkCeads
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to drubeat 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.
WesleyGooli
Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at findyourcorevision earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.
Donovannuash
Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at ileqix kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.
Tateliary
Now understanding why someone recommended this site to me a while back, and a stop at slacktally explained the recommendation, sometimes recommendations make sense only after experience and this site has finally clicked into place as the kind of resource I now understand was being recommended for sound editorial reasons by my friend.
NicolasReF
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at premiumdesignmarket 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.
AngelTub
Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at fastbuycorner 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.
ThomasDat
Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at discoveropportunitypaths 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.
Nathanielhox
Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at learnbydoing kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.
Javiergep
Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at buildactionablemomentum extended that antidote function, sites that quietly improve the average quality of my reading by being themselves are sites worth supporting through return visits and recommendations consistently.
Damianclida
If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble, and a stop at startwithclearpurpose extended that aspirational feeling, finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.
Lutherkeymn
One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at explorelimitlessthinking added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.
Erikmounk
Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at growwithintentiondaily confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.
EstevanPlonY
Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at hislex 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.
Kalefauby
Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at growwithsmartchoices 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.
TommySteld
A piece that did exactly what it promised in the headline without overshooting or underdelivering, and a look at growfocusedresults continued that calibration, alignment between promise and delivery is a basic editorial virtue that many sites fail at and this site has clearly mastered the matching of expectation and substance throughout pieces.
Sterlingfrugs
A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at exploregrowthmindset 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.
QuincySab
Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at buildclarityforward did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.
Johnniefek
Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at jinblob kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.

Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at tailortarget only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.
Lawsonshelo
However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at brightfuturedeals added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.
KeenanFem
Now placing this in the same category as a few other sites I have come to trust, and a look at learnandtransformfast continued the placement decision, the small category of fully trusted sites is one I extend rarely and only after multiple positive reading sessions and this site has earned the category placement methodically over time.
GregCem
Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at authenticlivinggoods only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.
ElmerWeaxy
Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at discoverwhatworksbest 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.
HughNoila
A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at discovergrowthpaths continued that intellectual honesty, content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.
JeremyRessy
Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at createprogresssystems 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.
Albertenham
Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at exploreinnovativepaths extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.
DeonMayow
Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at jazbrood closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.
CamdenLep
Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at findyourwinningpath confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.
CooperSmamp
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at createvalueconsistently 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.
KendallItabe
Better signal to noise ratio than most places I check on this kind of topic, and a look at growintentionally kept that going, every paragraph here carries something worth reading rather than padding out the page to hit some arbitrary length target that search engines reward but readers ignore as soon as they notice it.
DaxFloft
Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at findgrowthsolutions suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.
Irascelt
Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at hupblob continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.
JeremiahNiday
Top notch writing, every paragraph carries weight and nothing feels like filler, and a stop at discovernewmomentum reflected that same care, a rare thing on the open web these days where most pages exist for clicks rather than actual reader value or anything close to that which is honestly a real shame.
Emeryirose
Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at jalaxis extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.
Zacharywek
Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at discoverwhatworks continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.
JosephNuh
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 bomboard 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.
CooperMug
Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at findclearopportunities confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.
ZacharyAlcog
Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at hobcar reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.
Mosesrok
On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at unlocknewideas continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.
JohnnieTig
Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at jaspermeadowtradegallery maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.
LukeNuato
Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to solarorchardmarketparlor 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.
AlfonsoPherb
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 jinvex only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
