Insights into Tata Power's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Tata Power generated a total of 7,598,540 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 0.05% of Tata Power's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 99.95% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Tata Power's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Tata Power's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Tata Power reported a total waste generation of 7,598,540 metric tonnes, of which 0.05% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This low recovery rate highlights limited waste diversion and suggests that Tata Power may be relying more heavily on landfill or incineration, underscoring opportunities for stronger resource recovery initiatives.
Has Tata Power reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Tata Power's total waste generation increased by 133.07%, but declined by 35.56% in the year 2023, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.
Over the same period, Tata Power's waste recovery rate declined by 99.92%, with a further 99.9% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, Tata Power has historically generated more waste, and although the most recent figures show a drop in output, declining recovery rates suggest that the company’s waste management systems may be weakening or under-resourced.

How Tata Power reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2020, Tata Power's total waste generation increased by 133.07%, including a 35.56% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste decreased by 19.93%, yet rose by 30.1% in 2023, potentially signaling operational variability, temporary setbacks, or less effective hazardous waste mitigation in the short term.
Overall, Tata Power's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
How does Tata Power treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, Tata Power reported that 586 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.01% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 50% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
