Tata Motors has entered into a landmark partnership with Welspun Renewable Energy Pvt Ltd (WREPL) to co-develop an 86 MW wind-solar hybrid renewable energy project, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable manufacturing and long-term decarbonisation goals.
The renewable energy project will supply clean power exclusively to Tata Motors’ commercial vehicle manufacturing facilities in Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Karnataka through a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) backed by co-investment from both companies.
Once operational, the project is expected to generate around 200 million units of renewable electricity annually, helping offset more than 1.4 lakh tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year. By integrating wind and solar power, the project aims to provide a reliable source of green energy while reducing the carbon footprint of Tata Motors’ manufacturing operations.
The initiative represents a significant step towards Tata Motors’ RE100 commitment, under which the company aims to source 100% of its electricity requirements from renewable energy by 2030. It also supports the automaker’s broader sustainability strategy and ambition to achieve net-zero emissions through responsible manufacturing practices.
Commenting on the partnership, Vishal Badshah, Vice President – Operations, Tata Motors Ltd, said, “This project reflects Tata Motors’ continued focus on building greener and more energy-efficient manufacturing operations. The scale and integrated nature of this wind-solar hybrid solution will help us secure a reliable supply of renewable energy for key commercial vehicle manufacturing facilities, while meaningfully reducing carbon emissions across operations on a sustained basis. Collaborations like these are critical as we progress to fulfil our RE-100 commitment and net-zero aspirations.”
Sharing his views on the collaboration, Kapil Maheshwari, MD & CEO, Welspun Renewable Energy Pvt Ltd, said, “This partnership with Tata Motors represents a defining milestone in Welspun New Energy’s journey. We are not merely signing a PPA, we are co-creating a model for how India’s largest manufacturers can decarbonize and achieve net zero and sustainability goals. We thank Tata Motors for their trust and look forward to making this one of many long and successful partnerships. At Welspun New Energy, we remain committed to building resilient, future-ready renewable energy infrastructure for both Utilities and C&I consumers.”
