Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Limited (TMPVL) sourced 83% of its total electricity consumption from renewable sources in FY 2025-26, as the company advances its net-zero emissions target across its passenger vehicle portfolio by 2040, according to its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report filed with stock exchanges.
Renewable energy push
The company drew 4,54,760 gigajoules of electricity from renewable sources in FY26, against 92,442 GJ from non-renewable electricity and 3,04,855 GJ from non-renewable fuel, the filing said. International Renewable Energy Certificates contributed 55% of the company’s overall renewable electricity consumption.
TMPVL has expanded renewable capacity through multiple channels, onsite solar installations, off-site captive wind farms, Power Purchase Agreements for off-site wind and solar power, and procurement of i-RECs, the company said in the report.
At its Chikhali plant in Pune, the company has installed 18.95 megawatt-peak of rooftop solar capacity and is working toward 100% renewable electricity use by 2030 under its RE100 ambition. At Sanand, renewable energy sources include 2 MW rooftop solar, 3.2 MW hybrid renewable power, and 3.6 MW of solar power procured through PPAs.
Emissions trajectory
Total Scope 1 emissions stood at 19,611 metric tonnes of CO2-equivalent in FY26, up from 17,415 metric tonnes in FY25. Scope 2 emissions, calculated on a market-based approach after adjusting for iRECs purchased, fell sharply to 18,232 metric tonnes of CO2 from 40,663 metric tonnes in FY25, reflecting the higher renewable electricity consumption.
Combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission intensity per vehicle produced improved to 0.08 tCO2 in FY26 from 0.13 tCO2 in FY25, the report said.
Scope 3 emissions — covering the value chain — totalled approximately 1.72 crore metric tonnes of CO2 in FY26, against 1.61 crore metric tonnes in FY25. The bulk of Scope 3 emissions, approximately 1.31 crore metric tonnes, came from use of sold products, which includes tailpipe emissions from internal combustion engine vehicles in customer use.
Net-zero roadmap
The company’s sustainability strategy, branded Project Aalingana, is anchored around three pillars: Net Zero, Circular Economy, and Nature and Biodiversity, the filing said.
On net zero, the company has committed to transitioning to a zero-emission passenger vehicle portfolio by 2040, adopting science-based emissions reduction targets, and sourcing 100% renewable electricity across all operations by 2030.
“The ambition is to achieve net zero emissions across our passenger vehicle portfolio by 2040,” the company said in the filing.
On the product side, TMPVL said its electric vehicle portfolio has expanded from entry-level to aspirational segments, starting with the Punch.ev and progressing to the Curvv.ev and Harrier.ev. The company has committed to launching five new EVs by FY30. It is also targeting 4,00,000 EV charging points by 2027 through its Open Collaboration 2.0 initiative with key partners.
On value chain decarbonisation, the company said it has set internal targets for its supply chain to improve renewable energy usage and increase circular inflow, driven through its AIKYAM lighthouse projects with suppliers.
Energy conservation projects implemented across plants and offices in FY26 cumulatively reduced electricity consumption by 10.20 lakh kilowatt-hours and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 724.15 tCO2, the report said.
