Tata Motors Limited has signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Welspun Renewable Energy Private Limited to jointly develop an 86 MW wind-solar hybrid renewable energy project that will supply clean electricity to the automaker’s commercial vehicle manufacturing plants across four Indian states.
The renewable energy project will provide green power to Tata Motors’ manufacturing facilities in Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Karnataka, supporting the production of commercial vehicles while advancing the company’s decarbonisation strategy.
According to the companies, the hybrid project is expected to generate approximately 200 million units of renewable electricity annually and offset more than 140,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions each year. The project will be implemented through a co-investment model under a long-term PPA, ensuring a reliable supply of renewable energy exclusively for Tata Motors’ manufacturing operations.
The initiative is expected to play a key role in supporting Tata Motors’ RE100 commitment by 2030, while contributing to the company’s broader objective of achieving net-zero emissions through sustainable and energy-efficient manufacturing.
Vishal Badshah, Vice President – Operations at Tata Motors, said the project reflects the company’s continued focus on building greener manufacturing operations. He noted that the integrated wind-solar hybrid solution will strengthen renewable energy procurement for key commercial vehicle plants while significantly reducing operational carbon emissions and supporting Tata Motors’ RE100 and net-zero goals.
Kapil Maheshwari, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Welspun Renewable Energy, described the agreement as a significant milestone for the company. He said the partnership demonstrates how large industrial manufacturers can accelerate decarbonisation through renewable energy and reaffirmed Welspun’s commitment to developing resilient clean energy infrastructure for utilities and commercial and industrial (C&I) customers.
The agreement further strengthens renewable energy adoption within India’s manufacturing sector as companies increasingly invest in hybrid renewable energy solutions to reduce emissions, improve energy security, and achieve long-term sustainability targets.
