Podcasts about tata power

India's energy transition story can be vividly seen through the lens of one of its most established utilities, Tata Power, which has shifted from a long-standing reliance on coal to become an integrated renewable energy company aiming for a 70% clean power capacity mix by 2030. In this episode, S&P Global Commodity Insights editor Ruchira Singh interviews Tata Power CEO and managing director Praveer Sinha on India's ambitious plan to install 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based power capacity by the end of the decade. In a wide-ranging conversation, Sinha discusses critical infrastructure challenges — from land acquisition hurdles to transmission bottlenecks — and explains how Tata Power plans to deliver 24/7 renewable energy through integrated solar, wind, pumped hydro and battery storage solutions.

Tata Power stood at the forefront of India's energy transition. The firm's long history was deeply intertwined with the country's development. As Mumbai's power needs increased, Tata Power built out thermal assets across India, and while thermal power generation remained Tata Power's mainstay, the firm slowly started diversifying. In 2020, Tata Power boldly announced a commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050, concurrent with a complete phase-down of thermal capacity. It later brought this commitment forward to 2045. To prepare for declining revenues from thermal power generation, Tata Power was actively expanding its renewable business, but stakeholders had concerns about the company's ambitions. Was the firm's decision to sacrifice potentially high returns in thermal power generation financially imprudent, or did it position the firm well as India inevitably accelerated its energy transition? In this episode, host Brian Kenny welcomes Harvard Business School Professor Vikram Gandhi and Tata Power CEO Praveer Sinha to discuss the case Tata Power and India's Energy Transition, and how India's largest private power producer is reimagining its future.

1. Tata Power's ₹25,000 Cr Surge - 00:38:02 - 01:53:715 Tata Power is charging ahead with a massive ₹25,000 crore capital outlay for FY26, focusing half of it on renewables. CEO Praveer Sinha revealed the company plans to add up to 2.7 GW of capacity, with long-term wind turbine deals in the pipeline. Tata Power is also eyeing two UP discoms—Purvanchal and Dakshinanchal—as they head for privatisation. Meanwhile, its nuclear ambitions hinge on legal reforms expected in the Monsoon Session. The company posted a strong Q4 with net profit up 25% to ₹1,306 crore, riding on strong performance across renewables, generation, and distribution. 2. North-East's ₹2.5 Trillion Pitch - 01:56:495- 03:13:724 Ahead of the Rising Northeast Summit on May 23–24, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia announced ₹1.12 trillion in confirmed proposals and eyes a ₹2.5 trillion target. Big names like Reliance, Adani, Tata Sons, and ITC are expected to contribute an additional ₹80,000 crore. From textiles to tourism, IT to energy, the region is being positioned as a high-return, high-growth destination. The summit will feature 11 ministerial sessions at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. French firms are also warming up to the region, with dairy, aviation, and agri-tech sectors in focus. 3. Gensol's Clean Energy Crisis - 03:16:504 - 04:41:656 Gensol Engineering is in deep trouble. Ireda has filed an insolvency plea for a ₹510 crore loan default, just weeks after accusing the company of forging documents and misusing funds. Sebi has already barred the promoters—Anmol and Puneet Singh Jaggi—from the markets and corporate roles. Gensol raised over ₹800 crore to buy EVs for its BluSmart business but used only ₹567 crore, with ₹260 crore unaccounted for. The case, now under EOW and forensic audit, is a cautionary tale in India's clean energy push. 4. #BoycottTurkey Takes Off - 04:44:518 - 05:59:635 Social media outrage over Turkey's ties with Pakistan—especially reports of drone support—has sparked #BoycottTurkey trends. Platforms like Cox & Kings and Ixigo have paused bookings to the country. IndiGo and Air India's partnerships with Turkish Airlines came under fire, but insiders say there's no major commercial hit—yet. With Turkish Technic servicing both airlines and Celebi handling ground ops at key airports, complete decoupling looks unlikely. As with Maldives and China, boycotts only stick when commerce takes a hit—and so far, it hasn't.

Industry news lightning fast. Your hosts, Alan Hall, Joel Saxum, and Phil Totaro discuss the latest deals, mergers, and alliances that will shape the future of wind power. News Flash is brought to you by IntelStor. For market intelligence that generates revenue, visit www.intelstor. com. Allen Hall: Well, Phil, Tata Power has signed a 4. 25 billion memorandum of understanding with the Asian Development Bank for clean energy projects. And the agreement was signed during the ongoing COP 29 conference in Baku, Azerbaijan. The key initiatives coming out Out of this include a 966 megawatt solar wind hybrid project and a pump hydro storage project. Now the partnership will support India's target of 500 gigawatt renewable energy capacity by 2030. This is really important, Phil, because Tata plays a significant role in that. A role in India's economy. Philip Totaro: And not just in renewable energy project development and asset ownership and operations. Obviously they've got automotive, they've got steel making, they do any number of things. They're a pretty diversified industrial company. And what actually a lot of people may not know is Tata Power is actually one of the top five asset owners and operators of renewable energy assets in India already. So getting an additional, MOU signed for, for 4. 25 billion is, is not going to hurt. But keep in mind, they also have broader ambitions outside of India. They, they signed an agreement with a company in Bhutan recently to do a five gigawatt renewable project there. They've had ambition in Sri Lanka and, other kind of regional markets within the Asia Pacific region there that it gives them, they've been kind of quietly going about, spreading their influence. And I, again, I think this is a fantastic move for them and, and to be able to get this Asian Development Bank agreement in place, I think is, if they get 100 percent of that, that money that they're, they're talking about in this MOU, that, that's really gonna help push Tata Power forward. Allen Hall: Well, staying in India, TPG is in advanced talks to acquire the Siemens Gamesa Indian assets. And that deal could, well, it's valued at more than 300 million currently. Now, TPG has emerged as a front runner after outbidding industry players and a number of private equity firms. And Phil, this is a valuable asset. I know a number of companies in India were really shooting for this Siemens Gamesa business. Thank you very much. But TPG has really rocketed to the top. Philip Totaro: Yeah, and it's, it's fascinating because I wouldn't actually have expected private equity to win this one. Mainly because the, what Siemens is, is really offering in terms of their asset portfolio in, in India is their manufacturing facilities. Any operations and maintenance agreements that they have and, and that entire side of the business, I would have thought that, They would have either split off that side of the business. Maybe the Chinese were going to come in and take over the factory space. So this is,

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of November 21 -While yesterday was a stock market holiday on account of voting in Maharashtra, the Nifty50 finally broke its seven-day losing streak—the longest in over 20 months — on Tuesday. Despite a strong opening and a positive first half, a sharp sell-off in the latter half wiped out the day's earlier gains, reportedly triggered by news of Ukraine's strike inside Russia. -Today's trading session will also see whether the Nifty 50 bulls are able to defend the 23,500 mark on the downside, particularly on the Nifty expiry day. -Meanwhile, Deepak Jasani of HDFC Securities expects Nifty to form a higher low before embarking on a sustainable bounce. 23350-23815 could be the band for the Nifty over the near term, he says. Religare Broking's Ajit Mishra said the Nifty's movement reflects that bears are firmly in control, using every rebound as an opportunity to short. -This morning the GIFT Nifty was higher, trading at a premium of nearly 90 pts from Nifty futures Tuesday close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market. -Stock to track: UPL, Dr Reddy's, Tata Power, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers, Aditya Birla Capital, JSW Steel, Aegis Logistics, Adani Infra -Asian equities declined in early trading, reflecting a muted mood on Wall Street that was amplified by Nvidia Corp.'s lackluster revenue forecast. Shares in Japan and South Korea fell alongside Hong Kong equity futures. Contracts for US benchmarks declined Thursday in Asian trading after falling on Nvidia earnings. The chip giant met third-quarter revenue and earnings expectations, but failed to meet the highest estimates for future revenue. Shares in Australia were slightly higher. -The tepid response to Nvidia's earnings may ripple across global markets, given the size of the world's largest company by market value and its role in the artificial intelligence boom. Shares of South Korea's SK Hynix, which is a supplier of Nvidia, rose as much as 0.9% in Seoul. -Meanwhile, investors in Asia will also be looking to gauge the effect of a US indictment of Gautam Adani and other executives over the alleged payment of more than $250 million in bribes. -On the other hand, Bitcoin set another all-time high, supported by a series of developments highlighting the deepening embrace of the digital-asset industry in the US under crypto cheerleader Trump. The world's largest cryptocurrency is fast approaching $100,000, helped along by MicroStrategy Inc.'s massive purchases. -Gold was up early Thursday, notching its fourth daily advance.

Invenergy has announced its entry into the spanish offshore wind market with the proposed oh boy floating wind farm the planned capacity 552 megawatt site Is will be the furthest site away from the shoreline of spain if approved it will power over 600 thousand Spanish households. Wow, Phil the construction of the offshore floating wind farm is estimated to take between eight and ten years with Invenergy prioritizing local hiring and procurement through the project's development. So this is a really neat project by Invenergy, Phil. Philip Totaro: Yeah, it's interesting too, because the Spanish are trying to get an offshore market going. There's, something like 40 plus gigawatts of projects that have been kind of tentatively proposed for different tenders that they're supposed to have in Spain, but they haven't actually gotten a framework in place for how any kind of You know, subsidies are going to work. And I think power offtake may also still be a bit of a challenge there as far as the infrastructure needed to be able to support this much capacity. But the fact that, I mean, this is, and we've talked before about the fact that Invenergy is not exactly a U. S. company. They're, it's Canadian majority owned company as far as their, their parent investor, but let's say they're, the first occasion where I can recall a North American based company anyway, is venturing off into the European offshore wind market. So this is pretty interesting and, and an exciting play for them. Joel Saxum: One of the nice things here is that, that northwest corner of Spain. Good deep water port as well. So, the area's gonna be primed and ready for it. There's some demand locally there. They're ready and willing to go here. 552 megawatts for a floating offshore wind farm. That's again, I think last week we talked about the largest one we've heard of. This is now the largest one I've heard of. And the facilities are there, ready to go. Keyside to put these things out. So, 8 to 10 years, I think we'll see a big floating wind farm there. Allen Hall: Spanish utility company Iberdrola is considering selling a 50 percent stake in a portfolio of U. S. renewable energy assets, which includes 400 megawatts of solar plants and 300 megawatts of onshore wind. For an estimated 1. 6 to 1. 8 billion us dollars.

Anlässlich der größten Parlamentswahl der Welt liegt der Schwerpunkt der 239. Folge von „bto – beyond the obvious – der Ökonomie-Podcast mit Dr. Daniel Stelter“ auf der Republik Indien. Seit Jahren entwickelt sich der indische Subkontinent äußerst dynamisch, hat Armut und Hunger deutlich reduziert und setzt zum Sprung in ein neues Zeitalter an. Lange Zeit unbemerkt, ist das Land drauf und dran, zur drittgrößten Volkswirtschaft der Welt zu werden und dies mit Dienstleistungen und Industrieproduktion. Aus Sicht deutscher Unternehmen ist Indien eine große Chance: als Produktionsstandort, als Absatzmarkt und als Quelle qualifizierter Arbeitnehmer. Doch nicht nur das. Wer auch in Zukunft erfolgreich sein will, hat keine Alternative, als in Indien aktiv zu werden. Entsprechend selbstbewusst präsentiert sich das Land und erwartet eine Behandlung auf Augenhöhe vom Westen, aber auch von Russland und China. Dabei hilft Indien auch eine andere Haltung, gerade im Vergleich zu China. Kulturell würde man mehr auf „Softpower“ setzen, meint der indische Top-Manager Ramabadran Gopalakrishnan im Gespräch mit Daniel Stelter. Gopalakrishnan war im Verlauf seiner Karriere in Spitzenpositionen namhafter indischer Unternehmen tätig, u. a. als CEO von Tata Sons Ltd und als Mitglied der Vorstände von Tata Power, Tata Technologies, AkzoNobel India oder Castrol India.HörerserviceNeue Analysen, Kommentare und Einschätzungen zur Wirtschafts- und Finanzlage finden Sie unter www.think-bto.com.

Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are likely to make a subdued start on December 18, after record breaking rally across equity markets worldwide. The handover has been strong from the US markets. However, Asian markets were subdued ahead of Japan's monetary policy decision later in the day, indicating a flat start for the Indian market. India's GIFT Nifty was up 0.15% from its overnight close at 21,487 as of 8:15 a.m. IST, indicating that the Nifty 50 is likely to open around its Friday closing level of 21,456.65. The Nifty and Sensex have gained about 6.6% so far this month, and are on course to their best monthly performance in 2023, with the Nifty closing at record highs in nine of 11 sessions. Besides the easing global interest rate outlook, the rally has been driven by the Reserve Bank of India raising its fiscal 2024 growth forecast, return of foreign inflows, sustained domestic inflows, and moderation in oil prices.

The Tata Group's flagship steelmaker Tata Steel last week approved the merger of six subsidiaries and an associate company with itself in a major move that consolidates the group's metals and mining business.  The move involves listed entities, Tata Steel Long Products, The Tinplate Company of India, Tata Metaliks and TRF.  The proposed amalgamation is aimed at driving synergies through raw material security, centralised procurement, optimisation of inventories, reduced logistics costs and better facility utilisation. The consolidation is in continuation with Tata Steel's drive to simplify the group holding structure. Since 2019, it has reduced 116 associated entities. Recently, the Adani Group overtook Tata to become India's most valuable conglomerate. At $278 billion, listed Adani companies had a combined valuation higher than Tata Group's $260 billion.  Under the Chairmanship of N Chandrasekaran, the salt-to-software conglomerate has been consolidating businesses that share common synergies. Earlier this year, the group announced the merger of Tata Consumer Products and Tata Coffee.  Tata Consumer itself was a result of the 2019 merger of consumer products business of Tata Chemical with Tata Global Beverages. A financial daily on Tuesday reported that the group and Singapore Airlines are working on merging their airline businesses Air India and Vistara, and housing them under a new joint venture. Meanwhile, Tata-owned AirAsia India is in the process of being merged with Air India Express, an Air India subsidiary that operates flights mainly on India-Gulf routes. By 2025, Tata's aviation business will be reportedly brought under Air India. Tata Sons, the group holding company, had consolidated its various businesses across aerospace and defence sectors together under a single entity, Tata Aerospace & Defence (Tata A&D). Ambareesh Baliga, Independent Market Analyst says, consolidation is a value creation proposition. Will bring in synergies and cost efficiencies. Tata's successful future businesses may also undergo consolidation.    According to a financially daily, Tata Sons has commenced plans to halve the number of listed companies in the conglomerate to an estimated 15 from 29 in the coming months. This is being done to focus on investing in bigger entities that can compete in the marketplace. The news report quoted the conglomerate's executives saying that it is speeding up the simplification to focus better on the growth and scale of the large companies.  Chandrasekaran, who is serving his second term as Tata Sons Chairman, restructured the group into ten verticals such as infrastructure, financial services, automotive and technology and e-commerce.  The group had committed over $10 billion to deleverage and restructure Tata companies, consolidate cross-holdings, acquire strategic assets and infuse capital for future growth. Chandrasekaran is driving his 3S philosophy of simplify, synergise and scale to take the group to new heights.  Simplification includes consolidating entities sharing the same sector into a single vertical and reducing subsidiary or exiting non-core businesses to bring focus and agility. An example of synergy would be Tata Motors leading the effort to develop an Electric Vehicle (EV) ecosystem in partnership with Tata Capital for financing and Tata Power for the charging infrastructure network. The group is largely focusing on home markets, as its strategy of going global has not yielded much returns. [Shailesh Haribhakti, Chairman, Shailesh Haribhakti Associates says, talent freed from separate silos. Enable clearer capital allocation. Chandrasekaran creating template for synergy.  .  Tata's latest ambitious goal is to harness its presence across multiple sectors into a unified offering for consumers through its super app Tata Neu. It'll be interesting to see how the consolidation exercise aids in this goal.

The Big Bull of Dalal Street, India's Warren Buffett, Man with the Midas Touch, the Eternal India Optimist, King of the Stock Market – the legendary investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala carried many nicknames. His death on Sunday at 62, prompted an outburst of tributes from businesspersons, politicians and investors big and small who followed his insights and stock bets. Jhunjhunwala's investing career started in 1985 with 5,000 rupees of borrowed money. At the time of his death, his net worth is estimated at $5.8 billion or 46,000 crore rupees. His first big profit came from the 5,000 shares of Tata Tea he bought in 1986. In three months, Jhunjhunwala tripled his money. There was no looking back after that.    In the late 1980s, the qualified chartered accountant made a leveraged bet on iron ore exporter Sesa Goa which brought him his first crores. He bought the stock at 25-26 rupees and sold the holding in tranches, riding the stock till it reached 2,200 rupees. His investment in Tata Power also paid off at the time.  Jhunjhunwa's affinity for Tata group stocks continued. In fact, Tata's Titan Company made him the most wealth. He first purchased the jewellery and watch maker's shares in 2002.  His other stock holdings from Tata group were Tata Motors, Indian Hotels Company and Tata Communications. He also multiplied his investments several times in stocks such as Lupin and CRISIL.  His biggest holding at the time of death remained Titan, accounting for over Rs 11,000 crore or one-third of disclosed portfolio value.  Although famous for his bets in listed stocks, Jhunjhunwala did not shy away from taking bigger risks through private market investments He reaped a windfall when three of his portfolio companies, Nazara Technologies, Metro Brands and Star Health and Allied Insurance, hit the public markets last year.  A Business Standard analysis showed that 76% of the value of Jhunjhunwala's disclosed portfolio emerged in the last seven years after he turned 55 and the biggest gains came in the past two years. The value of his disclosed portfolio rose from 8,431 crore rupees in March 2020 to 30,652 crore rupees in August 2022.  Raamdeo Agrawal, Chairman & Co-Founder, Motilal Oswal Financial Services says, he was an ‘economic philosopher', liked making predictions. Jhunjhunwala was a terrific bargain picker and he always tried to help his friends, be it with money or guidance, says Agrawal.  Rakesh Jhunjhunwala was astute not just as an investor who picked stocks for long-term holding but as a trader too. In 2018, he said he made a lot of money by shorting stocks and one of his biggest fortunes came from short selling in 1992 when the Harshad Mehta scam roiled the markets.  Rakesh Jhunjhunwala had his misses too in stocks, like Dewan Housing Finance Corporation, DB Realty and Mandhana Retail While some of his private investments paid off handsomely, In March last year, he acknowledged that half of his 20 private equity investments by then had turned out to be duds. His last bet was Akasa Air, in which he held a 40% stake. Motilal Oswal's Agarawal described this bet as the ultimate bargain, as Jhunjhunwala made the most of the discounts offered by the aircraft manufacturer.    Jhunjhunwala made his last public appearance at the inaugural flight of Akasa, on August 7th.  Among India's notable philanthropists, Jhunjhunwala's faith in the India story and bullish commentary on the economy and markets was visible till the very end.  Such was his infectious optimism for India that Jhunjhunwala told a business news channel six days before his death, that regardless of global developments, Indian markets will grow, but at a slower pace. According to him, India was entering a golden age.

India's power consumption spiked to an all-time high of 132.98 billion units in April amid the rise in mercury level in the country. According to India's power ministry, the country's electricity demand is expected to rise to 220 gigawatts in the next two months as meteorological department forecasts above normal maximum temperatures in west-central, north-west, north and north-eastern regions. It's not surprising then, that power-related stocks have been the favourable destinations with investors this year. The stock prices of power sector companies, including power generation and power distribution, have done materially better than benchmark indices.   Shares of companies like Adani Power, Tata Power, Power Grid, NTPC have surged from 2 to 175%, so far, this year. In comparison, the S&P BSE Power index has gained over 35%, while the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex index declined over 7% during the same period.   However, despite the rally, analysts remain bullish on related stocks and expect power utilities to benefit from the spread between rising power demand and acute energy crisis.   Speaking to Business Standard, AK Prabhakar, Head of Research, IDBI Capital, said NTPC will be the biggest beneficiary of coal-shortage crisis. He is positive on NTPC, Tata Power and Torrent Power. While power demand is likely to remain elevated till June, Coal India will be a beneficiary from peak power demand, he said. However, higher employee costs a worry for Coal India's margin.   That said, some industrial units in states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, are reportedly considering production cuts amid power outages. Moreover, the dwindling inventory of coal, which contributes nearly 80 per cent of India's power generation, has also failed to keep pace with the elevated energy demand.   Though stated-owned Coal India has ramped up supplies to power plants by 6.7 metric tons from a year ago, analysts remain uncertain whether the increased output would cater to both international as well as domestic demand. Analysts assume Coal India to benefit from higher volume growth due to accelerated dispatches of coal to power plants at domestic front.   According to Abhijeet Bora, Senior Analyst, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas says Coal India a beneficiary from higher volume growth YoY. Fixed costs dent outlook, while earnings outlook for power-generation companies remains intact, he says adding that he is bullish on NTPC, Power Grid and Tata Power.   Meanwhile, high prices of imported coal due to geopolitical uncertainties are expected to send power tariffs through the roof.  In March, merchant power prices surged to 8.2 rupees per unit as against an average of 4 rupees per unit.   According to a report by CRISIL Ratings merchant tariffs could remain over 6 rupees per unit this quarter – the highest in the past five fiscals.   Overall, with production reviving to pre-pandemic levels, the need for clean power supply also gives immense scope of growth for the power sector. Therefore, analysts expect the momentum in power stocks has more steam left.   Lastly, investors saw markets shut on a choppy note, as frontline indices Nifty 50 and Sensex closed 0.67% lower each. However, primary markets were abuzz as the mega LIC IPO was subscribed over 2.91 times on the final day. As regards today, investors will watch out for earnings report card of Asian Paints, Cipla, Vodafone Idea and Gujarat Gas.

The Nifty fell for the 3rd straight session facing strong selling pressure at higher levels and ended the session lower by about 1 percent on Thursday. On January 20, the Nifty bounced off the 17,640 support cluster of 100-day SMA (17,633) and the December 13 breakout level (17,640) and also managed to defend the 20-day SMA (17,745) on closing basis. On the open interest front, maximum open interest (for January monthly expiry) on Calls has been shifted lower to 18,000 strike as it would act as a major hurdle going ahead. On the downside, the index has major support in the 17,550-17,650 zone. The index has been witnessing massive selloff since January 18, dragging the index below the 18,000 mark. The Nifty is placed very close to the support zone and is also oversold on the shorter time frame. Thus, in the sessions to come, we might see the index consolidate between the 18,000 and 17,550.
