The company was established in 1911 as the Tata Hydro-Electric Power Supply Company to supply power to Mumbai. Today, it has an installed generation capacity of 6,899 MW in India and a presence in all the segments of the power sector including generation (thermal, hydro, solar, wind, geothermal and waste gas), transmission, distribution and trading. It also has successful public-private partnerships in generation, transmission and distribution in India. The company is one of the largest renewable energy players in India and is developing the country’s first 4,000 MW ultra mega power project at Mundra (Gujarat) based on super-critical technology.

Tata Power has a strong global presence with hydro projects in Nepal and Bhutan, fuel assets and geothermal projects in Indonesia, logistics operations in Singapore, and partnerships with energy companies in South Africa and Australia.

The company is actively working towards addressing climate change issues. Tata Power's sustainability initiatives include investing in clean energy production, building a strong renewables portfolio, focusing on bio-diversity conservation, streamlining water use and planting trees around its plants. The Tata Power Energy Club (TPEC) involves schoolchildren in its efforts to propagate efficient energy use. TPEC started in 2007 by sensitising 12 schools in Mumbai and has now become a nation-wide movement, covering more than 250 schools across nine cities in India. The club has over 13,000 Energy Champions and has sensitised over one million citizens with a saving of 1,080,685 units of electricity.
