Tata Motors, one of India’s leading automobile manufacturers, has joined forces with Tata Power Renewable Energy (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, for a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to co-develop a 131 MW wind-solar hybrid renewable energy project.

The initiative is expected to generate around 300 million units of clean electricity annually and offset over 2 lakh tons of CO2 emissions each year. The strategic move is set to provide a reliable supply of green, cost-effective energy exclusively to Tata Motors’ six manufacturing facilities in Maharashtra and Gujarat, supporting production of both commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles.  

The move is part of Tata Motors’ clean energy transition for achieving its RE-100 commitment ahead of the 2030 target.

Vishal Badshah, Vice President – Operations, Commercial Vehicles, Tata Motors, said, "As a key driver of India’s mobility and logistics ecosystem, Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles is proud to lead by example in sustainable manufacturing. This project reinforces our commitment to integrate renewable energy into our operations and reducing our carbon footprint while meeting our RE-100 goals. It also reflects our broader purpose of delivering mobility solutions that are sustainable at every stage –from production to performance."

Pramod Choudhary, Vice President – Operations, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, added, “We are committed to transition to clean energy for building a future ready automotive business. With this PPA our plants in Maharashtra and Gujarat will take a significant leap in our journey towards Green Manufacturing, complementing India’s green transition. It’s a defining step towards making our Passenger Vehicle Operations greener, smarter and more resilient on sustainable basis.”

Servotech Renewable Power System has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Haryana Enterprises Promotion Centre (HEPC), Department of Industries & Commerce, Government of Haryana. The agreement outlines a proposed investment of approximately INR 4 billion to expand its manufacturing and warehousing operations within the state.

The proposed CAPEX will be deployed in a phased manner over the next 24 to 36 months. The expansion targets several clean-technology and power segments that have been identified as core thrust areas under the state's new industrial policy.

The investment will scale Servotech's manufacturing capacity across electric vehicle (EV) chargers, solar products, battery packs, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and power electronics.

While the company is currently evaluating specific site locations within Haryana, the capacity expansion is intended to scale overall production volumes, improve operational efficiencies, deepen import substitution, and support growing domestic and export market demand. Under the terms of the MoU, the Haryana Government, via the HEPC, will provide single-window facilitation support and ease-of-doing-business assistance to streamline project implementation.

The project is projected to generate around 500 direct and indirect employment opportunities, contributing to Haryana's industrial and economic growth.

The MoU was finalised in the presence of the Chief Minister of Haryana, Nayab Singh Saini, during the official launch of the ‘Make in Haryana’ Industrial Policy 2026 in Gurugram on 1 June 2026. The event also introduced a compendium of nine separate sectoral policies designed to attract industrial and clean-energy investments to the state.

Raman Bhatia, MD, Servotech Renewable Power System, said, “We are delighted to partner with the Government of Haryana. Haryana has emerged as one of India’s most progressive investment destinations, and the launch of the Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026 reinforces the state’s commitment to industrial growth, clean-energy manufacturing and innovation. Our proposed INR 4 billion investment aligns with Servotech’s long-term vision of scaling renewable energy manufacturing capabilities and is a meaningful step towards our stated ambition of reaching INR 15 billion in revenue by FY2027. We believe this collaboration will strengthen our operational footprint and contribute to Haryana’s clean-energy ambitions and broader economic development.”
