August 2022 : Reaffirming Tata Group’s commitment towards sustainable manufacturing, Tata Motors, India’s leading automaker, and Tata Power have signed off a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to develop a 7.25 MWp Onsite Solar project at Tata Motors’ Jamshedpur commercial vehicle manufacturing facility. The project will be a significant move to increase the renewable energy portfolio at its manufacturing facility.

With this project, the onsite solar plant capacity of Tata Motors’ Jamshedpur facility will reach 14 MWp, which will generate 442 million units of green electricity; having the potential to reduce carbon emission by 3.5 lakh tonnes. This is equivalent to planting 5.6 lakh trees.

Commenting on the occasion, Vishal Badshah, Plant Head, Jamshedpur, Tata Motors said, “It has been our continuous endeavour to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to achieve Net Zero Emission goal. With this agreement, we are reaffirming our commitment to sustainability by increasing the share of renewable energy in our operations.
