Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), the renewable energy arm of Tata Power, has entered into a landmark Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tata Motors Limited to develop a 131 MW wind-solar hybrid project. This initiative marks a significant milestone in India's journey towards clean energy and sustainable industrial practices.

The hybrid energy solution, a combination of solar and wind technologies, is designed to supply uninterrupted and cost-efficient green power to six of Tata Motors’ manufacturing facilities located in Maharashtra and Gujarat. These plants manufacture both commercial and passenger vehicles, and the new project will support their transition to renewable sources.

The project is expected to generate 300 million units of electricity annually and offset over 2 lakh tons of CO₂ emissions every year. This helps Tata Motors move substantially closer to its RE100 commitment—transitioning to 100% renewable energy before the year 2030—and its broader ambition of achieving net-zero emissions in line with global sustainability goals.

A Major Leap Toward RE100 and Net-Zero

With this latest collaboration, Tata Motors strengthens its green manufacturing infrastructure, ensuring that a major portion of its energy needs are met through clean sources. The integrated hybrid setup ensures round-the-clock availability of renewable power, a critical requirement for energy-intensive industries like automobile manufacturing.

By aligning with RE100, a global corporate renewable energy initiative, Tata Motors reiterates its commitment to reducing dependence on fossil fuels and contributing to climate-resilient industrial development.

TPREL’s Expanding Green Energy Footprint

Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL) continues to lead India’s clean energy transformation. With this new project, TPREL’s total group captive renewable energy capacity will cross 1.5 GW. The company already operates 478 MW of renewable projects under the group captive model and has another 1.1 GW in the pipeline, scheduled for commissioning within the next 6 to 24 months.

TPREL’s strategy focuses on offering integrated energy solutions by combining solar, wind, floating solar, and battery storage technologies. This hybrid model ensures that industries receive uninterrupted power, while keeping energy costs optimized.

The company is also recognized for its pan-India presence, deep regulatory knowledge, and strong execution capabilities, making it a preferred partner for multiple industries in their ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) journey.

Sustainability Synergy Within the Tata Group

This initiative isn’t a standalone venture. TPREL has actively partnered with several Tata Group companies such as Tata Steel, Tata Communications, and Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) to implement group captive solar and hybrid energy projects. These collaborations not only strengthen the group’s internal sustainability roadmap but also create a ripple effect across the Indian industrial ecosystem.

By building energy systems internally across various group entities, Tata Group ensures that its sustainability drive remains cost-effective, scalable, and future-ready.

Tata Power: Driving India’s Clean Energy Vision

Tata Power, India’s premier integrated power company, currently operates a diversified portfolio of 15.7 GW, with 6.8 GW from clean energy sources. This represents 44% of its total generation capacity, underlining its early-mover advantage and long-term commitment to carbon neutrality by 2045.

The company has developed India's most comprehensive clean energy ecosystem, offering solutions like EV charging infrastructure, rooftop solar, battery storage, home automation, and more. This vision has made Tata Power a front-runner in India’s sustainable energy transition, and its collaborations with both public and private sector companies reflect its pivotal role in the country’s energy future.

Implications for India’s Clean Energy Goals

India is pushing forward to meet its ambitious clean energy targets, aiming to reach 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030. Projects like this not only contribute to the national energy mix but also serve as examples of corporate responsibility and industrial innovation.

TPREL’s project with Tata Motors is a model initiative, showcasing how inter-industry collaboration can accelerate the adoption of renewable energy, meet climate goals, and create a more resilient industrial landscape.
