Tata Motors, India's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, has signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement with Welspun Renewable Energy to co-develop an 86 MW wind-solar hybrid project supplying four of its plants in Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Karnataka.
200 million clean units per year
Announced from Delhi on July 3, 2026, the hybrid plant is estimated to generate 200 million units of electricity annually and avoid over 140,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year. Enabled through co-investment, the wind-solar hybrid solution will supply green energy exclusively to Tata Motors' commercial vehicle manufacturing facilities, supporting the production of trucks and buses that power India's freight and public transport.
RE100 by 2030
The PPA is a milestone on Tata Motors' path to its RE100 target of sourcing 100% renewable electricity by 2030 and its broader net-zero ambition. "Collaborations like these are critical as we progress to fulfil our RE-100 commitment and net-zero aspirations," Vishal Badshah, Vice President - Operations at Tata Motors, said in the release. Welspun MD & CEO Kapil Maheshwari called the deal "a defining milestone" that offers a template for how India's largest manufacturers can decarbonise.
India's commercial vehicle giant goes hybrid
The deal signals continued momentum for India's large-scale renewable procurement among industrial off-takers, and gives Welspun a marquee customer as it scales its clean energy portfolio. It also aligns with Tata Group's broader sustainability strategy across the USD 180 billion conglomerate.
