Tata Motors BRSR FY25: Scope 1 Emissions Down To 43,754 tCO2e, Water Use Cut By 7%

Tata Motors has reported a decrease in Scope 1 emissions to 43,754 tCO2e for FY 2025, down from 48,736 tCO2e in FY 2024, as per its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) 2024–25.

The company's report also showed a decline in Scope 2 emissions to 1,31,407 tCO2e from 1,72,409 tCO2e. As a result, the combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity per rupee of turnover improved to 0.000000258 tCO2e in FY 2025, compared to 0.000000308 tCO2e in the previous year. Similarly, when adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP), emissions intensity per dollar dropped to 0.000005320 tCO2e/$ from 0.000006286 tCO2e/$.

When measured by the number of vehicles produced, the company’s emissions also improved—falling from 0.552 tCO2e per vehicle in FY 2024 to 0.462 tCO2e in FY 2025.

As per the report, the company recycled 11,204 metric tonnes in 2025 as compare to 9118 mt tonnes in 2024.

Energy
The company’s total energy consumption fell to 17,87,238 GJ (gigajoules*) in FY 2025 from 19,20,470 GJ in the previous year. Notably, the share of renewable energy rose—renewable electricity use increased to 5,32,976 GJ from 3,72,058 GJ, while non-renewable energy consumption dropped to 12,54,262 GJ. Energy intensity per vehicle also saw a marginal improvement, declining from 4.80 GJ to 4.72 GJ, as mentioned in the report.

Water Use Shrinks; Treated Wastewater Gains Ground
According to the BRSR report, water conservation was another area of progress. Total withdrawal fell from 30,83,958 KL in FY 2024 to 28,47,107 KL, while total consumption declined from 29,79,832 KL to 26,61,542 KL. With no use of seawater or other sources, most water was sourced from third-party suppliers (over 20 million KL), followed by groundwater and surface water.

Water intensity per vehicle improved to 7.03 KL from 7.44 KL last year. Similarly, water consumed per rupee of turnover dropped to 0.00000391 KL. These efficiencies were supported by circular water systems, including the use of treated sewage water at the Pimpri and Jamshedpur plants, and the installation of advanced tertiary RO systems.

As environmental expectations from stakeholders continue to rise, Tata Motors’ incremental but deliberate improvements mark a step forward in aligning industrial growth with climate-conscious action.

GJ stands for Gigajoule, a unit of energy measurement in the International System of Units (SI).

1 GJ = 0.2778 megawatt-hours (MWh)
