Cummins Inc. and Tata Motors strengthen their 30- year alliance to power a cleaner India with low- to zero-emissions technologies for mobility solutions

Columbus, IN – Global power leader Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced today that
it has signed a definitive agreement with Tata Motors Limited (TML), to manufacture a
range of low- to zero-emissions technology products in India over the next few years.
The definitive agreement was signed by Jennifer Rumsey, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Cummins Inc., and Girish Wagh, Executive Director, Tata Motors, at Cummins
Inc. headquarters in Columbus, Indiana, USA. Senior officials and dignitaries from
Cummins, the company’s India leadership team and Tata Motors were present during
the signing of the agreement.
Tata Motors and Cummins have a 30-year strong partnership through their joint venture
Tata Cummins Private limited (TCPL) in India, established in 1993. The signing of this
definitive agreement further strengthens their relationship and is a step forward from the
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the two organizations in
November 2022 to collaborate on the design and development of low- and zeroemissions
propulsion technology solutions for commercial vehicles in India.
As a part of this agreement, Cummins and TML have set up a new business entity called
TCPL Green Energy Solutions Private Limited (GES), a wholly owned subsidiary under the
existing joint venture with a focus on the development and manufacturing of sustainable
technology products that will include hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines, fuel
delivery systems, and battery electric powertrains and fuel cell electric systems through the
AcceleraTM by Cummins brand. The low- to zero-emissions technologies developed by TCPL
GES will be integrated into both on-highway and off-highway applications for domestic and
international markets. This agreement will play a pivotal role in developing sustainable
powertrain solutions that will help in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, improving air
quality, and supporting India’s net-zero ambitions.
After signing the agreement, Jennifer Rumsey, Cummins President, and Chief
Executive Officer said, “Progress requires partnership, and I am delighted that we are
