Financial Capital

Creating shared economic value

"

Our legacy is built on the vision of the Company’s founders, who looked at financial capital as a means of gainfully creating wealth as a custodian of the community’s resources and return it back to the stakeholders. This adds a lot of responsibility on the management to ensure capital allocation does not focus on only financial returns but overall stakeholder return.

Ramesh Subramanyam, CFO

Tata Power endeavours to invest in businesses capable of generating returns in line with expectations of our stakeholders. We seek to optimise returns from business operations as well as from monetisation of non-core assets and investments. Our growth strategy includes investments in renewables, new emerging businesses, including EV charging, home automation and microgrids in remote areas.

We continue to raise funds in line with the prevailing market conditions at an optimal cost. With a century old legacy, Tata Power has remained committed to driving sustainable value creation based on strong business fundamentals, driven by a diversified and growth-oriented business model with a strong focus on efficient capital allocation. Business model realignment and significant improvement in the renewable portfolio has contributed 14% of the total revenue of the Company in FY20.
