Tata Motors has entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Welspun Renewable Energy Private Limited (WREPL) to jointly develop an 86 MW wind-solar hybrid renewable energy project. The project will supply clean electricity to four of Tata Motors’ commercial vehicle manufacturing plants located in Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Karnataka.
Once operational, the project is expected to generate around 200 million units of renewable energy every year, helping offset more than 1.4 lakh tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. The power produced will be dedicated entirely to Tata Motors’ manufacturing facilities and will support its commercial vehicle production operations under a long-term agreement, backed by co-investment from both companies.
The initiative is aimed at significantly increasing the share of renewable energy in Tata Motors’ manufacturing processes and advancing its RE100 commitment, under which the company plans to source 100% of its electricity needs from renewable sources by 2030. It also aligns with the automaker’s broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions across its manufacturing operations.
Commenting on the development, Vishal Badshah, Vice President – Operations at Tata Motors, said the project underscores the company’s focus on greener and more energy-efficient manufacturing. He added that the scale and integrated design of the wind-solar hybrid system will help ensure a reliable supply of renewable power for key facilities while steadily reducing carbon emissions across operations over time.
