Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has entered into a five-year partnership with Tata Motors to advance the automaker’s sustainability objectives through the deployment of AI-driven digital solutions.
Under the agreement, Tata Motors will adopt Prakriti, a sustainability platform powered by TCS’s Intelligent Urban Exchange (IUX), to digitise ESG data, enable real-time environmental monitoring, and automate regulatory reporting across its operations. The system will also generate analytics to support sustainability-related decision-making.
The platform has been jointly developed and configured to meet Tata Motors’ operational needs, integrating data across its manufacturing plants and value chain. It will help the company align with SEBI’s Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) framework and strengthen carbon accounting, product footprinting, circularity, and biodiversity management.
Tata Motors aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040 for passenger vehicles and by 2045 for commercial vehicles, in line with its Project Aalingana strategy focused on decarbonisation, circular economy practices, and biodiversity restoration.
According to SJR Kutty, Chief Sustainability Officer at Tata Motors, embedding digital intelligence and automation will help ensure the company’s operations remain “compliant, resilient, and future-ready,” contributing to climate action across the automotive sector.
The collaboration also seeks to improve sustainability monitoring across the supply chain, including Scope 3 emissions tracking. TCS said its IUX solution will support data integrity and compliance while facilitating collaboration between employees, suppliers, and dealers.
Rajesh Kannan, CEO of Tata Motors Digital.AI Labs, said the partnership “equips us with robust data, insights, and analytics to manage sustainability initiatives and align with emerging regulatory expectations.”
Anupam Singhal, President of Manufacturing at TCS, noted that the initiative reflects a wider effort to embed “intelligence, transparency, and accountability” across the manufacturing value chain.
Tata Motors’ sustainability platform will draw from TCS’s broader suite of over 200 digital sustainability solutions, which assist enterprises in emissions reduction, resource efficiency, and climate risk management.
