Tata Group, a multinational conglomerate based in India, has been actively investing in climate tech and clean energy initiatives. The group has deployed a cloud-based platform for remote energy management across 150 of its facilities in India.
In terms of clean energy, Tata Power, a part of the Tata Group, plans to invest ₹15,000 crore to establish pumped hydro storage projects with a cumulative capacity of 2,800 MW by the financial year 2028-29. They are also planning to invest ₹70,000 crore to develop 10 GW of solar and wind power capacity in Tamil Nadu over the next 5-7 years.
Tata Power has set a goal to reduce its absolute GHG across Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 70% by 2025, and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030. They are also working on digital O&M solutions to boost the wind energy sector. For biofuels, Tata Projects has received an order from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) for a bioethanol plant.
