04 Mar 2026 CW Team

The collaboration will also explore executive education programmes, capability development, exchange opportunities, technical workshops and joint case study development to strengthen long-term research capability and talent development. It builds on expertise at Warwick Manufacturing Group and the School of Engineering and on a renewed institutional focus on energy systems. These measures are expected to support industrial partners in decarbonisation and system-level innovation.

Tata Power has a diversified portfolio totalling 16.3 gigawatt (GW) across the power value chain, including generation, transmission, distribution, trading, storage and manufacturing. The company has seven point five GW of clean energy, representing 46 per cent of its total capacity, and serves 13 million (mn) customers nationwide. Tata Power has set a target of Net Zero by 2045 and the new alliance is intended to accelerate progress towards reliable and affordable decarbonised power.

The University of Warwick will apply systems-level research spanning semiconductors, power electronics, machines and drives, advanced control and artificial intelligence to translate academic capability into industrial impact. Warwick Manufacturing Group has long applied research to industrial and societal challenges and the partnership with Tata Power builds on decades of collaboration and recent recognition, including the Lord Bhattacharyya Award in 2025. Both institutions plan to pursue joint projects that integrate renewable generation, energy storage and hydrogen technologies to develop resilient and economically viable decarbonisation pathways.

How Hormuz is Hijacking Indian Highways

At the recently held RAHSTA Round Table on 29th April in Pune, and earlier during our webinars for Cement Expo by Indian Cement Review and by FIRST Construction Council on manufacturing construction equipment for the world, one thread lay common: the industry is being subjected to a cost-push chain reaction moving from crude oil → freight/insurance → steel, cement fuel, bitumen, polymers, packaging, logistics and finally project margins. Indeed, the West Asia crisis caused by the war and the Hormuz Strait blockade, which does not directly concern us, has turned around and hit us. If the wa..
