Tata Motors's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Tata Motors reported total carbon emissions of approximately 42200000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 185394000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 in India. Globally, the company’s emissions included around 63728000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 278465000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, with about 16097527000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial impact from the use of sold products and other upstream and downstream activities. Tata Motors has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets have not been clearly defined in recent disclosures. The company had previously made commitments to near-term targets, but these have since been removed or expired. As of June 2022, Tata Motors was classified as having a near-term target status of "Committed," but it has not set a net-zero target. The company’s emissions intensity per vehicle produced has varied over the years, with a reported intensity of about 556 kg CO2e per vehicle in 2023. This reflects ongoing efforts to improve efficiency and reduce emissions in line with industry standards. Overall, Tata Motors is actively monitoring its emissions and has made strides in transparency regarding its carbon footprint, but it faces challenges in establishing and maintaining long-term reduction commitments.
