Tata Power, one of India’s largest integrated power companies and a part of the Tata Group, announced the enterprise-wide adoption of the Databricks platform to accelerate its data and AI transformation across all business clusters – driving enhanced operational efficiency, smarter decision-making, and scalable digital innovation.
As Tata Power advances its transformation in line with the energy transition – spanning renewable integration, smart grids, and an expanding B2C portfolio – the company is building a future-ready data and AI platform to power its next phase of growth. This unified platform will enable intelligent grid management, advanced power planning and optimisation, improved billing and collection efficiencies, accurate renewable forecasting, and operational excellence across solar manufacturing and rooftop businesses while delivering a seamless, single-view customer experience.
Tata Power is using Databricks to build a modern data foundation that goes beyond traditional warehouses and broken-up analytics systems to support this vision. It will be able to handle a lot of data and give you insights almost in real time. It will also support advanced analytics, AI, and agents, all while being safe and secure on the Databricks platform. Tata Power can use Databricks to bring together data engineering, analytics, and AI on a single, scalable platform. This will combine edge, operational, and enterprise data, get rid of silos, and speed up decision-making based on insights across the company.
A key highlight of this transformation is the adoption of Genie, Databricks’ AI agent that lets any employee talk to their data and get trusted answers instantly. With its natural language interface, Genie redefines how organisations access enterprise data to quickly generate insights, dashboards, and analytics and make better decisions, faster.
Dr Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power said, “This partnership with Databricks marks a key milestone in our journey to build a future-ready, intelligent energy ecosystem. By leveraging the power of data and AI , we are strengthening our digital foundation to drive smarter operations, accelerate renewable integration, and deliver more agile, customer-centric solutions while contributing to a resilient and sustainable power sector.”
Tata Power is reshaping customer energy behaviour across residential, commercial, and industrial segments – an essential lever in accelerating the energy transition. Customers are increasingly evolving into active energy participants, not just consumers, optimising their energy usage while contributing to greater grid flexibility, enhanced efficiency, and a more sustainable energy ecosystem.
“The energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation, and data and AI is at the heart of that change. Together, Databricks and Tata Power are building a unified and scalable platform that brings together data, apps, analytics, and AI agents – enabling faster innovation and more resilient, data-driven energy systems. This empowers Tata Power to optimize energy distribution, and drive smarter, more sustainable decision-making at scale,” said Nick Eayrs, Vice President of Field Engineering for Asia Pacific and Japan at Databricks.
“Tata Power’s decision to standardize on Databricks underscores the growing importance of data and AI in transforming the energy sector. As they build a unified, enterprise-wide platform, we are excited to support their journey toward smarter, more efficient operations. This also reflects the strong momentum we are seeing in India, where enterprises are rapidly scaling AI to drive innovation and measurable outcomes,” said Kamalkanth Tummala, Managing Director for India at Databricks.
Tata Power wants to bring all of its business data together on the Databricks platform. This will set the stage for new projects and AI applications of the next generation. In the medium term, this platform will make it possible for people to do their own analytics, “talk to data,” and make data and AI available to everyone. This will help the organization make decisions faster and based on insights.
To bring this vision to life, Tata Power will build a robust data infrastructure by leveraging the platform’s capabilities, anchored by its internal Centre of Excellence and strengthened through a strategic partner ecosystem.
