Direct Lobbying Transparency

Moderate | Tata Chemicals Ltd demonstrates a moderate level of transparency in its climate-policy lobbying. The company clearly identifies the specific climate-related policies it has engaged with, naming Carbon tax, Circular economy, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and electricity grid access for renewables. However, it outlines its methods only in broad terms—describing "ongoing dialogue, liaison meetings and conversations with regulatory authorities" and "attendance at seminars, memberships of government and industry bodies"—without specifying which governmental or legislative targets it interacts with. Similarly, while it notes that it provides "inputs in policy formulation and devising the policies beneficial for the industry and the country at large," it does not articulate the particular outcomes it seeks, such as measurable amendments or targets for any of these policies. This approach affords clarity on what it lobbies on but leaves the how and why of its lobbying largely unspecified. | 2 |
