The most sustainable Indian companies study by SLP, an enterprise based in France, New Zealand and India, in association with Business World, mapped and identified 200 largest companies in the country by revenue and ranked them across various parameters after an in-depth analysis. These corporate houses were ranked on parameters like resource efficiency, social entrepreneurship, financial management, employee well-being, clean revenue and inclusive supply chains. Diving deeper into these criteria, 31 aspects along with their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were identified, which helped examine, assess and rank all the companies. In addition, in-house experts at SLP provided detailed expert reviews of these companies.
Mr Praveer Sinha, CEO and Managing Director, Tata Power, said, “As a leader in India’s energy sector, we are setting a bold example by increasing our share of clean energy to more than 60 percent of our power generation portfolio by 2025. We are set to emerge as the leader in renewable energy space by covering the entire spectrum of products and services such as rooftop solar solutions, solar micro-grids, solar pumps as also in electric vehicle charging infrastructure and home automation to support clean and green energy.”

Through its recent collaboration with AES & Mitsubishi Corporation, Tata Power aims to power up South Asia’s largest grid-scale 10MW energy storage system in India.
