Tata Power, the integrated power company, plans to invest ₹20,000 crore (or US $2.39 billion approx. ) in capital expenditure (capex) during the financial year 2024-25. This substantial investment is in addition to the ₹12,000 crore already invested in FY24.

With a current clean energy portfolio of 9 GW, Tata Power aims to achieve 15 GW within the next five years, encompassing both existing and ongoing projects.
