Tata Power And University Of Warwick Forge Strategic Alliance

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.

The Tata Power Company Limited has signed a memorandum of understanding with the University of Warwick to advance research and innovation in electricity systems. The agreement will focus on grid modernisation, fast charging, power storage, industrial decarbonisation, digital energy systems, optimisation and advanced manufacturing approaches. The partnership is intended to align academic research with industry priorities to accelerate scalable solutions for the energy transition.
