Tata
Motors, India’s leading automobile manufacturer, and Tata Power Renewable
Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power and a frontrunner in India’s
clean energy transition, have signed a landmark Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
to co-develop a 131 MW wind-solar hybrid renewable energy project.
Set
to generate approximately 300 million units of clean electricity annually, the
project is expected to offset over 2 lakh tons of CO2 emissions each year.
Enabled through co-investment and a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA),
this integrated wind-solar hybrid solution will provide a reliable supply of
green, cost-effective energy exclusively to Tata Motors’ six manufacturing
facilities in Maharashtra and Gujarat, supporting the production of both
commercial and passenger vehicles.
This
initiative significantly advances the Tata Motors’ clean energy transition for
achieving its RE-100 commitment ahead of the 2030 target and accelerates
meaningful progress toward climate-resilient operations. It also marks a major milestone in Tata
Motors’ sustainability roadmap, aligning with its broader ambition to achieve
net-zero emissions and lead the shift towards environmentally responsible
manufacturing.
Signing
the PPA, Vishal Badshah, Vice President – Operations, Commercial Vehicles, Tata
Motors, said, "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 reducing 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."
Pramod
Choudhary, Vice President – Operations, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles,
mentioned that, “We are committed to transition to clean energy for building a
future ready automotive business. With this PPA our plants in Maharashtra and
Gujarat will take a significant leap in our journey towards Green
Manufacturing, complementing India’s green transition. It’s a defining step
towards making our Passenger Vehicle Operations greener, smarter, and more
resilient on sustainable basis.”
