New Delhi, June 7 (IANS). As the world moves towards clean mobility, Tata Motors will continue to invest in electric and hydrogen-based technologies for its commercial vehicle business. This statement was given by Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran in the message given to shareholders in the company’s annual report for 2025-26.
Chandrasekaran said the transition towards sustainable mobility cannot rely on any single technology and will require a mix of electric vehicles, hydrogen-powered solutions and clean internal combustion engine (ICE) technologies.
He informed that Tata Motors is expanding its portfolio of zero-emission electric commercial vehicles. It will also continue to invest in hydrogen technologies, particularly for the heavy-duty transportation sector.
The Tata Motors Chairman said global mobility is changing rapidly due to the adoption of clean energy, rising safety expectations and changes in global supply chains.
He further said that advancements in digital technology and AI are changing the way mobility products are designed, used and supported.
According to Chandrasekaran, geopolitical uncertainties and uneven economic recovery across regions are increasing challenges for the industry, making it important to be agile and strong for long-term competitiveness.
Talking about the future, he said Tata Motors is focused on increasing profits and is well positioned to take advantage of emerging mobility opportunities.
The company plans to maintain disciplined capital allocation while investing in future technologies such as connected vehicle platforms, advanced driver assistance systems, data-based fleet services, digital mobility solutions and next-generation powertrains.
Chandrasekaran also highlighted the company’s financial performance during FY2026. Tata Motors recorded its highest-ever revenue of Rs 83,855 crore this year, compared to Rs 76,359 crore in FY2025 – showing a growth of 9.8 per cent YoY.
He further told shareholders that there has been a significant improvement in profits, with the automotive business delivering a return on capital employed of 72.3 per cent, one of the highest levels in the global commercial vehicle industry.
The chairman said the company will continue to focus on driving industry-leading growth, profits and returns, while building capabilities that will define the future of safe, efficient and intelligent commercial mobility.
