Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Comprehensive	Tata Motors provides extensive, concrete detail about its climate-policy lobbying. It names multiple identifiable measures it has engaged on, including the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP), the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid and) Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, the CAFÉ III & IV fuel-efficiency standards, the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy’s Hydrogen Pilot Trial, and forthcoming BS VII emissions regulations, as well as renewable-energy market rules such as “Open Access policies for offsite renewable energy” and the “Green Tariff” route. The company is equally clear about how it conducts this engagement, citing “regular meetings” and “participation in working groups organised by policy makers,” collaboration through the SIAM-FTG group and trade bodies such as CII, and direct dialogue with named government entities, for example the “Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, Government of India,” “Niti Aayog’s Net-Zero Inter-Ministerial Working Group for the Transport Sector,” and other national regulators. It also sets out the concrete results it is seeking: promoting hybrid and electric vehicles to strengthen national fuel security and underpin the launch of the FAME scheme, “resolving gaps in policy framework which is preventing the company from maximizing the uptake of RE,” commercialising biodiesel as soon as supply is available, and aligning transport and energy rules with its “Net Zero, Circular Economy, and Nature and Biodiversity” objectives. By clearly naming the policies, describing the lobbying channels and targets, and articulating the specific policy changes it wants to see, Tata Motors demonstrates a comprehensive level of transparency about its climate-related lobbying activities.	4

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Tata Motors discloses a basic but discernible structure for aligning its climate-related engagement with policy makers and industry bodies: it explains that "engagement with policy makers are interfaced through Corporate Affairs team of TML India Operations" and that "this team has an appointed champion that works closely with working teams to understand the challenges and required interventions," indicating a defined internal function and named role that oversee and coordinate lobbying positions. The company also confirms a commitment to Paris-aligned advocacy, stating "Yes" when asked whether it has "a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," which shows the existence of an alignment policy. For indirect lobbying it notes that "Industry associations: matter is put before industry association on case to case basis," suggesting some procedural review of association positions, but it does not describe how those reviews are conducted or what criteria are applied. The disclosure therefore demonstrates a policy and an accountable body for direct engagement, yet it does not elaborate on systematic monitoring, board-level oversight, or concrete actions to correct misalignment, so the overall governance appears moderate rather than comprehensive.	2
