In a major stride towards sustainable manufacturing, Tata Motors has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd. (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, to co-develop a 131 MW wind-solar hybrid renewable energy project.
This forward-looking initiative will supply clean energy to six of Tata Motors' manufacturing plants in Maharashtra and Gujarat, which produce both commercial and passenger vehicles. The hybrid project is expected to generate approximately 300 million units of renewable electricity annually.
The use of green energy is projected to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions by more than 200,000 tons each year, significantly advancing Tata Motors’ environmental sustainability goals.
Vishal Badshah, Vice President – Operations, Commercial Vehicles, Tata Motors, highlighted the company’s focus on clean energy, stating: “As a key driver of India’s mobility and logistics ecosystem, Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles is proud to lead by example in sustainable manufacturing. This project reinforces our commitment to integrate renewable energy into our operations and reduce our carbon footprint while meeting our RE-100 goals. It also reflects our broader purpose of delivering mobility solutions that are sustainable at every stage—from production to performance.”
This partnership marks a critical milestone in Tata Motors’ journey toward achieving its RE-100 targets and illustrates the increasing adoption of hybrid renewable energy solutions by India’s leading industrial players.
