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 did not require external context to follow, and a look at exploreuntappedopportunities maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.
JustinDug
Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at learnandaccelerategrowth 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.
Cristiancip
Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at findnewgrowthpaths extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.
Hunterorace
Generally my comment to other readers about new sites is to wait and see but for this one I would jump to recommend now, and a look at intentionaldesignstore reinforced that early recommendation, the speed at which a site earns my recommendation is itself a quality signal and this one has earned mine quickly clearly.
Ricardodab
Really appreciate that the writer did not overstate the importance of the topic to make the post feel weightier, and a quick visit to findyourgrowthpath maintained the same modest framing, content that is honest about its own scope rather than inflating itself is the kind I trust and return to repeatedly over time.
Fletchersit
Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at discoverdailyinspiration confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.
ColeUTELT
A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at startwithclarity 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.
BenHer
Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at learnandgrowfaster kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.
Gunnertit
Found the post genuinely useful for something I was working on this week, and a look at createimpactstructure added more material I will reference, content that connects to my actual life and work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind I will pay attention to and return to repeatedly.
Colbysen
Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at buildstrongmomentum kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.
Gavinfar
A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at growresultsdrivenpath reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.
Robertciz
Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at tidalslick 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.
Dannyabeby
Even just sampling a few posts the consistency is what stands out, and a look at growwithfocusedsteps confirmed the broader pattern, sites where every piece I sample lives up to the standard set by the others are sites with serious quality control and this one has clearly invested in whatever editorial process produces that consistency reliably.
OmarNop
Skipped the social share buttons but might come back to actually use one later, and a stop at ilonox extended that share urge, content that triggers genuine sharing impulses rather than performative ones is content that has actually moved me and not many posts in a typical week do that for me actually.
Terrencekiz
Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at seoscope continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.
OliverUnony
A piece that exhibited the kind of patience that good writing requires, and a look at createactionstepsnow continued that patient quality, hurried writing is easy to spot and this site reads as having been written without time pressure which produces a different feel than the rushed content that dominates much of the modern blog space.
Lonnieged
Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at quickcartcorner continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.
Ernestomap
Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at ravenharbortradehouse suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.
SidneyWed
A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at growyourpotential continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
Manuelspoot
Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at learnandbuildmomentum confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.
Rorywed
Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at createbetterresults prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.
Hassantep
A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at bomkix 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.
Daquankaw
A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at startnextleveljourney only made that gap wider in my view, the kind of place that earns its visitors through quality rather than through aggressive marketing or sponsored placements which is increasingly the only way most sites stay afloat across the modern web.
GilbertopLaky
Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at discoverhiddeninsights added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.
Philipkip
Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at buildintentionalgrowth 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.
JacobKal
Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at jazfix 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.
Randymaica
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at createprogressnow added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.

Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at discoverhiddenvaluehub kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.
YusufZet
However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at createimpactframework continued clearing that bar, the metrics I use for site quality are admittedly informal but they are consistent and this site has cleared them on multiple measurements across multiple visits which is meaningful for my evaluation.
LyleBicle
Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at learnandinnovate added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.
Finnfeave
Reading this gave me a small framework I expect to use going forward, and a stop at explorecreativeoptions extended that framework, content that produces transferable mental models rather than just specific facts is content with multiplicative value and this site is providing those models at a rate that justifies extra attention from me regularly.
KalLig
Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at discoverinnovativeideas continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.
Enriquelelay
A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at hupbolt 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.
Davonhauff
Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at holbook 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.
AngelFoomy
Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at learnandprogressdaily extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.
JavonBouse
Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at imobush showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.
LaineAsymn
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at learnanddevelopquickly 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.
VirgilRhyNc
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 buildfocusedmomentum 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.
LouisGoori
Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at everydayvaluecorner continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.
HenryGax
Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at linencovevendorparlor extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.
Jonathansarry
A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at startfreshtoday suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.
Westonsoora
Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at discovernewpotential confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.
Curtisimape
Reading this in a quiet hour and finding it suited the quiet, and a stop at buildsmartmomentum extended the quiet reading mood, content that matches its own optimal reading conditions rather than fighting them is content that has been thoughtfully calibrated and this site reads as having a particular reading mood in mind throughout.
Guytic
Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked growwithsteadyfocus I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.
Johnbop
A piece that handled a controversial angle without becoming heated, and a look at discoverwinningpaths continued that calm engagement, content that can address contested topics without inflaming them is doing rare diplomatic work and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to handle sensitive material with the appropriate temperature of writing throughout.
DomenicKes
Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to buildstrategicdirection maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.
Marcobok
Now noticing that the post did not mention the writer at all, focus stayed on the topic, and a look at learnandoptimizeprocesses continued that author absent quality, content that disappears the writer to focus on the substance is a particular kind of generosity and this site has clearly chosen the substance over the personality consistently.
Kentbow
Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at createfocusedmomentum continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.
Hassanexoks
The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at startthinkingstrategically 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.
