Vijayawada/Jamshedpur, January 24
Tata Steel today inaugurated its third fully automated construction service centre in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh to offer customised reinforcement products and solutions to India’s booming construction industry.
The center was inaugurated by Ashish Anupam, Vice President, Long Products, Tata Steel, in the presence of other senior Company officials along with channel partner representatives.
The new facility with a capacity of 3,000 metric tonnes (MT) per month, will produce Tiscon ReadyBuild (customised Cut & Bend Tata Tiscon TMT rebars along with coupler threading). This center is spread across 5 acres and will provide comprehensive solutions to the construction sector. The facility will subsequently extend its downstream solutions portfolio to include Welded Wire Mesh and Bore Pile Cages, thus, establishing itself as a “One-Stop Downstream Construction Service Center”. The facility has been built in collaboration with the Company’s channel partner Samrat Irons Pvt. Ltd.
This facility is the first such centre from Tata Steel in the South, with the first two in Cuttack (East) and Ghaziabad (North) opened for business last year. The Cuttack facility, spread over 11 acres, has a monthly capacity of 3,000 MT, while the one in Ghaziabad can process 3,500 MT of steel products in a month.
Ashish Anupam, Vice President, Long Products, Tata Steel, said: “Our increasing focus on the Downstream Business is a reflection of our commitment towards shaping India’s construction sector. Today Tata Steel is focusing on building an ecosystem with strong capabilities to provide ready-to-use steel products and solutions to the construction sector. We expect to further expand our innovative offerings through more such service centres across the country.”
The Company also organised a meet of AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) community titled ‘Converse to Construct’ in Hyderabad on January 23, 2024. This meet was attended by more than hundred customers and consultants from the infrastructure, housing, and industrial sectors. The event also featured distinguished industry speakers such as Charles Arnal, Senior Associate Director, SAA Architects and Prashanth Kumar Sreram, Asst. Professor, NICMAR, delivering thought-provoking presentations on “Latest Construction Technologies across the World”.
The fully automated service centres are instrumental in shaping the construction sector while also positioning Tata Steel as a knowledge-intensive leader. This endeavour reiterates Tata Steel’s commitment to innovation and excellence by looking beyond traditional steel production and forging ahead as a comprehensive solution provider for the construction sector. The Company plans to open 10 such centres across the country by 2025.
