Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions has entered a five-year partnership with Tata Motors to accelerate the company’s sustainability efforts. Tata Motors’ sustainability platform, Prakriti, powered by the AI-driven TCS Intelligent Urban ExchangeTM (IUX), will digitize ESG data and enable real-time monitoring, automated ESG compliance reporting, and data-driven sustainability insights, strengthening Tata Motors’ ability to drive measurable environmental impact across its operations and reporting across all its plants. Expertise and domain input from Tata Motors played a pivotal role in configuring IUX for sustainability and co-developing the Prakriti solution tailored to Tata Motors’ operational and sustainability needs.
Tata Motors, India’s leading name in auto manufacturing and mobility solutions, prioritizes sustainability as a core value. Committed to achieving net-zero emissions for passenger and commercial vehicles by 2040 and 2045 respectively, pioneering circular economies and preserving nature and biodiversity. To support these goals, Tata Motors is adopting robust, data-driven solutions to enhance decision-making across key sustainability domains including carbon accounting, regulatory compliance, product foot printing, circularity, biodiversity, and risk management—areas that have traditionally relied on manual processes.
Through its collaboration with TCS, Tata Motors is integrating ESG data into a customized, unified sustainability platform enabling emissions computation, regulatory reporting, and advanced sustainability analytics. Tata Motors also aims to extend its sustainability strategy across its supply chain, while ensuring compliance with SEBI’s Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) framework.
SJR Kutty, Chief Sustainability Officer, Tata Motors, said, “Our commitment to the Tata Group’s approach to planet resilience, as outlined in Project Aalingana—anchored on three interconnected pillars: driving decarbonisation across our businesses and value chain, adopting a systemic circular economy approach, and restoring nature and biodiversity —together with our focus on all aspects of ESG, underscores our dedication to building a sustainable future. Partnering with technology leaders like TCS enables us to embed intelligence and automation into our sustainability journey, ensuring that our operations and value chain remain not only compliant but also resilient and future-ready. This collaboration marks a significant step in catalysing a climate for change within the automotive industry and beyond.”
TCS Intelligent Urban ExchangeTM (IUX) will help establish sustainable digitization across the entire value chain, enabling rapid regulatory compliance and effective ESG tracking. It’s unique configurability to automotive-specific requirements will drive sustainability transformation across employees, suppliers and dealers—aligning with Tata Motors’ broader sustainability vision.
Rajesh Kannan, Chief Executive Officer, Tata Motors Digital.AI Labs Ltd., added, “Strategically partnering with TCS empowers Tata Motors to set new benchmarks in managing and streamlining sustainability initiatives, aligned with BRSR standards. In an era of intensifying regulatory expectations, the implementation of a purpose-built, digital sustainability spine equips us with robust data, insights, and analytics—enabling environmentally responsible operations across our value chain. This forward-looking approach reflects our commitment to transparency, innovation, and sustainable mobility.”
Anupam Singhal, President – Manufacturing, TCS, said, “At TCS, we see sustainability not just as a business imperative, but as a shared responsibility toward society and the common citizen. Our partnership with Tata Motors is anchored in this belief—leveraging AI-powered platforms like IUX to embed intelligence, transparency, and accountability across the manufacturing value chain. Together, we are reimagining how enterprises operate—making them not only more resilient and future-ready, but also more aligned with the expectations of a cleaner, more responsible world.”
TCS has a long-standing relationship with Tata Motors, reflecting the collaborative synergy within the Tata group.
To comply with regulations, organizations must gather extensive sustainability data. Many companies struggle to collect the necessary emissions and greenhouse gas information, especially indirect (Scope 3) emissions from value chain partners, which makes data capture, integration, and presentation challenging. Prakriti, an AI/ML-powered platform supports sustainability monitoring and reporting. It delivers comprehensive insights, recommendations, and metrics for sustainable, environmentally responsible operations across the organization and its value chain. It also helps enterprises improve their ESG performance across tier 1, 2 and 3 supplier networks.
Ashvini Saxena, VP and Head, Digital Software & Solutions, TCS, said, “IUX for sustainability is anchored in its use of AI/GenAI to drive 3 key sustainability transformation domains for smart enterprises - accelerating net zero journey and regulatory compliance, optimizing and maintaining integrity of carbon value chains and reducing climate risk through biodiversity and 'Carbon for Good' programs. Through these, we are enabling TML to reimagine how sustainability drives operational excellence, stakeholder engagement, and long-term value creation. We are moving beyond compliance and embracing sustainability as a core business driver, building a future-ready sustainable ecosystem.”
TCS Intelligent Urban Exchange™ (IUX) is a robust, multi-faceted sustainability solution which empowers organizations to reduce emissions, lower costs, and conserve resources, while advancing environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance, and social responsibility.
