“MARG is a unique initiative that will act as a platform for knowledge sharing and ensure how neighbouring companies can help each other during crisis. We all hope that members of MARG meets frequently in various occasions at Jamshedpur to discuss the measures on how can we improvise on meeting the emergency and adapting to the changing needs. At Tata Power, safety is considered to be a core value and we will ensure we provide a safe and secure working environment to our employees.”
