Accelerating the Journey to Net-Zero and RE-100 Commitment
In a major step towards sustainable manufacturing, Tata Motors and Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited have signed a landmark Power Purchase Agreement. This agreement aims to co-develop a 131 MW wind-solar hybrid renewable energy project, marking a significant move in their green energy collaboration. This initiative is set to power Tata Motors’ six manufacturing plants in Maharashtra and Gujarat with clean, cost-effective energy.
Expected to generate nearly 300 million units of green electricity annually, the project stands as a major contributor to clean energy production. As a result, it will help offset over 2 lakh tons of CO₂ emissions every year, significantly reducing the carbon footprint. It also represents a significant leap in Tata Motors’ pursuit of the RE-100 target ahead of the 2030 deadline. Moreover, it supports the company’s larger vision of achieving net-zero emissions, reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability.
