All the majors in the country are focusing on new energy for the next few years. You can guess this from the ongoing Re-Invest 2024 in Gujarat. Where the Power Minister himself claims that by 2030, the country has seen a commitment to invest Rs 32 lakh crore in new energy. In such a situation, how can Tata Group lag behind? According to a Reuters report, Tata Power plans to spend Rs 70,000-75,000 crore on new energy in the next 5-6 years. Let us also tell you what kind of information has surfaced in the Reuters report.
75 billion rupee plan
A Reuters report quoted Tata Power Chief Executive Praveer Sinha as saying that Tata Power plans to invest up to $9 billion to quadruple its renewable energy capacity to over 20 gigawatts (GW) over the next five to six years. Sinha said the company plans to invest between 700 billion rupees ($8.36 billion) and 750 billion rupees ($8.95 billion) to expand its capacity and will fund the plan through a combination of internal accruals and debt.
This is Tata Power’s plan
Sinha said Tata Power, which currently has 5 GW of renewable energy capacity in large projects, will add another 5 GW of capacity in the next one to two years and scale it up to over 20 GW by 2030. Tata Power Company, part of software maker Tata Group, has over 8.8 GW of power generation capacity through thermal plants and aims to produce 100 per cent clean energy by fiscal 2045. Sinha said it is also coming up with customised solutions for 24×7 power using a combination of solar, wind, battery storage and pumped storage.
