Delivering excellence across
the value chain

Renewables

The renewables cluster includes large-scale solar, wind, and hybrid projects, as well as the production of solar modules and cells, solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). India has set an ambitious target of installing 500 GW of solar and wind power by 2030, and following this goal, the country auctioned a record-breaking 22.9 GW of renewable capacities in
2023.

In line with India's increase in total installed renewable energy capacity from a 22% share in FY19 (78 GW) to 33% in FY24 (144 GW), we reached a 40% clean and green energy portfolio in 2024, in a bid to achieve 100% before 2045 subject to contractual obligations and end of useful life. Our renewables business plans to leverage this substantial demand, making it a crucial component of the Company's strategy. Tata Power's Renewables business is poised to play a vital role in meeting India's rising energy consumption, aligning with the national vision for a sustainable and green energy future.

Transmission and Distribution

Our transmission network spans across various geographies covering Mumbai, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Bihar, Rajasthan, and Haryana with 6,277 Ckm. Our distribution operations serve 12.5 million customers across Mumbai, Delhi, Odisha and Ajmer.

Our commitment to modernising India’s power infrastructure is supported by strong operational performance across all T&D companies. The dedication is aligned with India’s progress through the National Smart Grid Mission. Supporting this mission, we undertook the smart metering project at Chhattisgarh for smart meter installations in Raipur. We have successfully installed more than 10 lakh smart meters through existing distribution licenses of Odisha, Delhi and Mumbai.

In Mumbai, our assets achieved a remarkable 99.9% grid availability, and sales increased by 6%, driven by demand and new consumers, while utility companies in Odisha significantly reduced AT&C losses by 2.7% in FY24 on overall basis. TPDDL has achieved a remarkable loss reduction level to 5.9% with relentless efforts by deploying technological interventions, TQM and other reliability improvement initiatives. These efforts signify our dedication to ensuring a reliable electricity supply and navigating the complexities of the energy landscape.

Generation

We oversee conventional and hydropower assets spanning North, West, and East India, boasting a capacity of 10,183 MW. Our focus is on in the secure and competitive management of these assets, ensuring the provision of affordable and dependable electricity to our customers, all the while navigating the shifts in energy dynamics.

To attain carbon net zero before 2045, we plan to limit coal-based projects and offset carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, aiming for Net-Zero greenhouse gases. With no immediate expansion plans, we prioritise sustainable operations. Collaborating with the Government of Maharashtra, we commit to developing two pumped storage hydro projects, totalling 2,800 MW, emphasising a greener future and grid stability. These projects mark a significant move towards clean energy adoption and phasing out thermal operations, contributing to a sustainable energy landscape.

Additionally, we are exploring opportunities in Bhutan for a 600 MW Hydro project further aligns with our commitment to mitigating climate change and fostering positive environmental and societal impact.
