塔塔集团主席N·钱德拉塞卡兰周三表示，随着集团向半导体、电池、可再生能源和量子计算等新兴领域扩展，创新将成为其增长的关键。在2026年塔塔创新视野大会（Tata InnoVista 2026）上，钱德拉塞卡兰指出，该集团历史上一直是领先于时代的领域的先驱，并列举了塔塔钢铁、水力发电、印度科学研究所、航空和信息技术等举措作为例子。
Tata Group chairman N Chandrasekaran on Wednesday said innovation will be critical to the conglomerate's growth as it expands into emerging areas such as semiconductors, batteries, renewable energy and quantum computing. Speaking at Tata InnoVista 2026, Chandrasekaran said the group has historically been a pioneer in areas that were ahead of their time, citing initiatives such as Tata Steel, hydroelectric power, the Indian Institute of Science, aviation and information technology."
“集团始终走在前列，不断突破界限。”钱德拉塞卡兰表示，并补充说，如今塔塔集团在进入新的技术密集型行业时，正面临类似的转折点。他表示，该集团正在投资半导体、电池、可再生能源和储能领域，同时塔塔咨询服务公司（Tata Consultancy Services）也在研发下一代技术。钱德拉塞卡兰强调，创新不仅对开发新产品至关重要，也有助于提升生产力、质量和竞争优势。
Group has always been pioneering and pushing the envelope," Chandrasekaran said, adding that Tata Group is now at a similar inflection point as it enters new technology-intensive sectors. The group is investing in semiconductors, batteries, renewable energy and energy storage, while Tata Consultancy Services is also working on next-generation technologies, he said. Chandrasekaran said innovation would be important not just for developing new products, but also for improving productivity, quality and competitive advantage."
“这不仅仅是关于最终产品，还关乎竞争优势和以不同方式做事。”他说道。他以塔塔电子公司（Tata Electronics）在半导体领域的投资为例，说明大规模投资如何推动公司在技术的高端领域进行创新。钱德拉塞卡兰还将量子计算列为集团应开始投资的领域，尽管其广泛应用的时间表仍不确定。“量子计算将是下一个重大突破。”
It's not about only the final product, but it's also about competitive advantage and doing things differently," he said. He cited Tata Electronics' semiconductor investments as an example of how large-scale investments can push companies to innovate at the higher end of the technology spectrum. Chandrasekaran also identified quantum computing as an area the group should begin investing in, even though the timeline for its widespread adoption remains uncertain." Quantum computing will be a next big thing.
“我们不知道这何时会发生，”他表示，并指出这类技术可能在五年、八年或十年内成为主流——甚至更早。塔塔集团主席还强调，有必要对新产品进行新的投资，并使其更具可持续性，而循环性在该集团各项业务中的重要性正日益提升。他提到了塔塔钢铁利用回收材料生产钢铁的努力，并表示塔塔汽车的商用车和乘用车业务正在将回收视为一个独立的新商业机会。
We don't know when it will happen," he said, noting that such technologies could become mainstream in five, eight or 10 years — or sooner. The Tata Group chairman also stressed the need to make new investments and products more sustainable, with circularity becoming increasingly important across the group's businesses. He pointed to Tata Steel's efforts to produce steel from recycled material and said Tata Motors' commercial vehicle and passenger car businesses were looking at recycling as a separate business opportunity.
他表示，集团旗下的各公司正越来越多地将制造废料和其他废弃材料视为其他产品的潜在原材料。“随着我们推出新项目，循环性将变得至关重要，”钱德拉塞卡兰说道。
Across the group, companies are increasingly examining manufacturing waste and other discarded material as potential raw material for other products, he said." As we introduce new projects, circularity is going to be hugely important," Chandrasekaran said.
