Jamshedpur, March 02
Tata Steel celebrates the 187th birth anniversary of Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata on March 3 by renewing its commitment to the lasting vision that has guided the Company for over a century. Jamsetji Tata was not only a pioneering industrialist but a nation builder. At a time when India lacked industrial infrastructure, he envisioned a self-reliant nation powered by steel. His belief that industry must serve society laid the foundation for a company built on integrity, excellence, and community development. The creation of Tata Steel and the city of Jamshedpur reflected a progressive model of responsible industrialisation, long before such concepts became global standards.
Today, that vision still guides Tata Steel’s strategy and actions. With operations in India, Europe, and beyond, Tata Steel is working to build a strong, globally competitive company focused on growth with purpose. In a world changing through geopolitics, technology, and sustainability, the Company is reinforcing its foundation while getting ready for the future.
In India, Tata Steel is advancing its capacity expansion plans in alignment with the country’s infrastructure and manufacturing ambitions. The Company plans to expand NINL’s capacity from 1 to 9.5 MTPA and has secured the Board’s approval for the first phase, which will expand capacity to 4.8 MTPA. Marking its first step in scrap-based steelmaking in India, the Company is soon going to commission its EAF-based steelmaking plant in Ludhiana, Punjab.
In Europe, it is driving structural transformation to enhance competitiveness and accelerate decarbonisation. After the closure of blast furnaces in Port Talbot, UK, in September 2024, the Company’s EAF-based unit is progressing as planned. In 2025, following extensive discussions, the Government of the Netherlands and Tata Steel signed a non-binding Joint Letter of Intent for the first phase of the transition to low-emission steel production.
Transitioning to greener steelmaking is one of the Company’s biggest transformations in its history. Tata Steel is investing in low-carbon pathways, circular processes, and energy efficiency while staying competitive and focused on long-term value. Investment in technologies like Hisarna and Easymelt, and cross-geography collaboration to improve performance, are among many such measures. Across operations, safety, operational excellence, financial discipline, and responsible governance remain non-negotiable. These efforts follow a generational mindset, reflecting the Founder’s belief in building lasting institutions.
This year, Tata Steel is celebrating Founder’s Day with the theme “One Vision. One Tata Steel,” highlighting a renewed focus on working as one global organisation. A unified organisation also implies a workplace where diverse voices are heard. While the Company is strengthening collaboration across geographies to share strengths in technology, sustainability, and innovation, it is also creating synergies and boosting performance by creating a conducive environment for the workforce of tomorrow. The Company’s pioneering stance on diversity and inclusion has led to norm-shattering initiatives, such as the world’s first all-women mining shift at the Noamundi iron mine and the deployment of women employees across all three shifts in Outbound Logistics at Kalinganagar. Having achieved a 20% diverse workforce in India in FY 2025, the Company now aims to replicate this across its global operations.
As Tata Steel celebrates Founder’s Day, it renews its commitment to working as one company, united by shared values and purpose, focused on sustainable growth. The way forward is clear: to build a stronger, more agile, and future-ready Tata Steel, inspired by Jamsetji Tata’s vision and powered by teamwork across the organisation.
