The innovative wind-solar hybrid project will power six Tata Motors facilities, cutting over 2 lakh tons of CO₂ emissions annually and fast-tracking its RE100 goal.
In a major stride toward India’s clean energy transition, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), the green energy arm of Tata Power, has inked a landmark Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Tata Motors, India’s automotive giant. Together, they will co-develop a cutting-edge 131 MW wind-solar hybrid renewable energy project, aimed at significantly reducing the carbon footprint of Tata Motors’ manufacturing operations.
This hybrid renewable energy project is set to generate around 300 million units of clean electricity annually, and is expected to offset more than 200,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year—a meaningful leap toward climate-positive manufacturing.
Powering Sustainable Manufacturing in Maharashtra & Gujarat
The clean energy generated will cater exclusively to Tata Motors’ six manufacturing facilities located in Maharashtra and Gujarat, supporting the production of both commercial and passenger vehicles. This partnership is not only a testament to the Tata Group’s commitment to sustainability but also a significant move in Tata Motors’ journey toward achieving its RE100 commitment well ahead of the 2030 target.
“This collaboration reflects our shared vision of a greener tomorrow,” a Tata Motors spokesperson said. “By integrating clean energy into our core operations, we’re not just meeting compliance goals—we’re actively shaping a sustainable future for the automotive industry.”
TPREL’s Game-Changing Green Energy Model
What sets TPREL apart is its ability to provide integrated Round-The-Clock (RTC) green energy solutions by combining solar, wind, floating solar, and battery storage. This hybrid model ensures uninterrupted, cost-effective, and clean power to energy-intensive sectors, helping them meet their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and RE100 goals with ease.
With a pan-India footprint and a solid track record in project execution, TPREL has emerged as a trusted partner for clean energy solutions across key industries including steel, automotive, polymer, hospitality, retail, and real estate. It has already collaborated with several Tata Group companies such as Tata Steel, Tata Communications, and IHCL on similar green energy projects.
Group Captive Milestone: 1.5 GW and Growing
Under its Group Captive portfolio, TPREL currently operates about 478 MW of renewable capacity, with another 1.1 GW under development. With the addition of this latest project with Tata Motors, TPREL’s total Group Captive capacity will surpass 1.5 GW, reinforcing its leadership in India’s renewable energy sector.
This project is more than just a business deal—it’s a step toward a shared commitment to decarbonization and a greener future. As India continues its journey toward a sustainable energy future, partnerships like these pave the way for industries to thrive responsibly.
