Tata Motors's reported carbon emissions

Tata Motors, an automotive manufacturer headquartered in India, has reported significant carbon emissions data for its global operations. For the 2025 reporting year, the company's total emissions amounted to approximately 162.6 billion kg CO2e. This total comprises approximately 70.7 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 (direct emissions), around 214.3 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy), and a substantial 162.3 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3 (value chain emissions). The use of sold products represented the largest contributor within Scope 3, at approximately 152.6 billion kg CO2e. In the preceding year, 2024, Tata Motors reported total emissions of approximately 183.6 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at roughly 71.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 238 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 183.3 billion kg CO2e. For the 2023 reporting year (referred to as 2024 in some sources), Scope 1 emissions were approximately 63.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were around 278.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this period. In 2022 (also referred to as 2024 in some sources), Scope 1 emissions were approximately 54.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were around 281.1 million kg CO2e. For 2021, Scope 1 emissions were about 41.9 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 211.6 million kg CO2e. Earlier data from 2018 shows total emissions of approximately 4.3 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 105.3 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at roughly 385 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2018 were approximately 4.2 billion kg CO2e. Tata Motors' climate commitments indicate that the company has had a Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment, although one entry notes a "Commitment removed" and "Expired commitment" with a date of June 16, 2022. Other SBTi entries from the same date show the company as "Committed" with no specific near-term or long-term target years detailed, and one entry indicates "net zero committed: No". The company has provided Scope 1 and 2 emission intensity data, including in terms of physical output (vehicles produced) and per unit of revenue, which suggests an awareness of carbon footprint measurement within its operational context.
