TATA STEEL- THE BEGINNING
FOUNDER: JAMSHETJI NUSSERWANJI TATA (1839-1904)
Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata ranks among
the greatest visionaries of industrial
enterprise of all time. Gifted with the
most extraordinary imagination and
prescience held the foundations of Indian
industry, contributed to its consolidation
and became a key figure in Ivdia[s
industrial renaissance. Born on 3
rd
March
1839, in a family descended from Parsi
priests in Navsari, a centre for age-old
Parsi culture, he was educated in
Elphinstone College, Bombay. Initiated
early into the techniques of trade by his
father, he travelled wide, gained a
scientific outlook and first set up textile
business in India, introducing new
machinery that vastly improved the
production of cotton yarn in the country.
He however realized that Ivdia[s real
freedom depend upon her self-sufficiency
in scientific knowledge, power and steel and thus devoted the major parts of his life and
fortune to three great enterprises- Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore, Hydro-electric
schemes and the iron and steel work at Jamshedpur. Wealth to him was not the end, but
the means to an end- the increased prosperity of India. His attitude to labour was
remarkably ahead of his times, constantly reinforcing the norms that the success of the
industry depended upon sound and straight forward business principles, the interest of the
shareholders, the health and welfare of the employees. As early as 1892, he established J.N.
Tata endowment for higher education abroad of outstanding Indian students. A pioneer in
town planning, he was mainly responsible for modernizing Bombay; he envisaged and
conceived a steel town to the very last detail, the town that was later to be named
Jamshedpur after him. The first stake for the steel plant was driven on a forest-covered
plateau in Sakchi on 27
th
February 1908. The dream had come alive, but the dreamer
himself was no more for Jamshetji had died at Nauheim in Germany in 1904 after his
successors to preserve the family name. His spirit continued to inspire his sons to carry their
fathe?[s dreams to fruition well after his death. He is one of the most widely travelled
Indians of his time, said to possess knowledge that was encyclopaedia. Not only did he have
a great love for it, he also had a passion to impart it to others, for, as early as 1892, he
established the J.N. Tata endowment for higher education abroad of outstanding Indian
students.
Jamshetji Tata won himself an enduring place in Ivdia[s history with his unique courage,
commitment and vision. TATA STEEL was established in 1907 by its founder JN Tata, Asia[s

ERGONOMICS
“Ergonomics is the science which ensure
optimal output from the human being”
Ergonomics is the study of work in relation
to the environment in which it is performed
(the workplace) and those who perform it
(workers). It is used to determine how the
workplace can be designed or adapted to
the worker in order to prevent a variety of
health problems and to increase efficiency;
in other words, to make the job fit to the
worker. One simple example is raising the height of a work table so that the worker does
not have to bend down unnecessarily to reach his or her work. An ergonomist studies the
relation between the worker, the workplace and the job design.
There are many obvious benefits of applying ergonomics in the workplace. For the worker,
the benefits are healthier and safer working conditions. For the employer, the most obvious
benefit is increased productivity.
In TATA STEEL
In Tata steel Ergonomics has always been an important aspect to strengthen our health and
safety condition of workplace. Since last two decades we are working to improve our
workplace with the aid of ergonomics. A high level committee was formed in 2002 under
the leadership of Mr. O B Krishna to strengthen the ergonomic function. The committee
took many initiatives for awareness of people, designing training packs, developing
standards etc. Few of their initiatives are as follows:
Ergonomics Committee Charter has been formulated and presented to the
management.
Ergonomics Facilitators from various departments/ divisions of Tata Steel have been
identified.
5 Lead Facilitators have been trained at Central Labour Institute Mumbai.
Intensive/ extensive training programmes for Ergonomics Facilitators have been
organized with the help of faculties from IIT Kharagpur.

LIASION CELL
It is mandatory that to run an industry or a business unit a number of statutory norms/
other allied activities are required to be fulfilled from time to time. Such activities in Tata
Steel were co-ordinated in the past independently by different agencies/units. In fact, Cash
Office was the Custodian for all licences of the company and on the advice of different units
to the then Controller of Accounts, the licences were forwarded to the concerned
Government Authorities for periodic renewal. Such an arrangement had lead to a situation
when a number of licences were elapsed and the company not only had to incur a
substantial amount of penalty to revalidate all such licences but also had to undergo
stringent legal procedures.
To eliminate recurrence of such instance, a Task Force was formed to identify all such
licences/ other allied activities with Government Authorities and relevant information was
collected organization-wide. Thereafter, the work related to integration of various
licensing/statutory activities started and the need for a nodal points to co-ordinate all such

In 1983-84, when LD technology was adopted for steel making, Tar Dolo Plant was
commissioned to meet the demand of dolomite refractory bricks for lining of ladle and
vessel.
The inherent process of lime making involves handling lot of air borne dust. This makes air
pollution control a very critical activity of the department. Tata Steel, being committed to
environment, commissioned bag filters and dust suppression systems in all critical dust
generation points to control pollution effectively. Today environment management at
Refractory production department is visible and appreciable by one and all.
MERCHANT MILL
Merchant Mill, Tata Steel, Jamshedpur was started in the year 1958 and since then
has been contributing significantly to this organization.
The mill has the capability to produce TMT bars of various cross-sections.
The major customers include DLF and Larsen & Toubro.
Merchant Mill is the oldest mill of Tata Steel commissioned in 1960 and is a part of the Long
Products Profit Centre.
Originally designed to utilize 75mm. square billets rolled at Rolling Mill #1.
After the closure of Rolling Mill #1, in-house modifications were done to utilize 100mm
sq.billets produced at LD#1. Otherwise, the mill would have closed down due to lack of
suitable input material.
Further challenge was accepted by the mill and again in-house modifications were carried
out to roll from 127mm sq.billets.
In 1988 Thermo Mechanical Treatment (TMT) facility was added to the mill and since 2001
the mill is producing only with the help of TMT.

PROCUREMENT DIVISION
Procurement Division of Tata Steel has a critical role in ?ealizivg ope?ativg depa?tuevt[s
quest for manufacturing & service excellence by relentlessly focusing and contributing in
cost management, ensuring product and service quality superiority and speed in the overall
delivery process.
The Procurement Division is exploring newer & unconventional areas of sourcing and
delivery mechanism by redesigning and re-organizing the existing supply chain processes. At
a time when prices of input materials are steadily rising in a buoyant market environment,
Procurement division is working towards effective containment of the prices by taking
alternate sourcing routes like raw material conversion, consolidation of buy to generate
economies of scale, tier II sourcing, introduction of total management contract concepts-
these being some of the initiatives amongst many other that are being conceptualized,
designed and implemented by the division.

Raw materials viz. Iron ore, Coal, Limestone etc, are the basic inputs for producing steel.
Quantity, quality and economics of the raw materials strongly influence the fortune of Steel
Industry.
Raw materials used for steel making are naturally occurring ores/minerals, which can
neither be created nor manufactured by mankind. Hence to procure quality raw materials at
minimum cost is the main objective and key process of the Raw Material Procurement
Department.

business lines are – Chrome, Manganese and Flux. The customers of FAMD are the Carbon,
Alloy and Stainless Steel producers, Refractory & Specialty Chemical manufacturers and DRI

FAMD is a leading supplier of Ferro Chrome in India and is among the top six chrome alloy
producers in the world, with operations spanning two continents. It is also the leading
Manganese Alloy producer in India and is a leading supplier of Dolomite and Pyroxenite.
FAMD embodies the pioneering spirit of our Founder, who laid the foundation stone for
setting up the first integrated steel plant in Asia. At the time of planning for a steel plant, it
was realized that assured supply of raw material is key to sustainable operations The
Natural Resources Division of the Company played a pivotal role in carrying out exploration
for Iron ore, Coal, Chromite Ore, Manganese ore, Dolomite and other essential raw
materials for steel making. It was this exploratory zeal of TSL, which led to the discovery of
the first Manganese deposit in India at Joda (1929) and Chromite deposit in the Sukinda
valley of Orissa (1949), when the world was still to fully appreciate the value of Manganese
and Chrome. It was also around this time that the Ferro Alloys Plant at Joda was established
(1957) making it the oldest continuously operating Ferro Alloy plant in India. In order to
bring more focus to this business, FAMD was formed as a separate profit center in 1993.
Realizing that for the country, it was important to convert ore into Ferro Alloys and Chrome
Concentrate, instead of selling the Chrome and Manganese ore, FAMD adopted the path of
value addition aggressively. The capacity of its Beneficiation plant in Sukinda was increased
and Ferro Chrome Plant at Bamnipal was acquired in 1991. An innovative model for
increasing product basket through outsourcing was also developed in 1990s. In the year
2007, FAMD acquired TS Alloys, which is a 100% subsidiary and operates as a conversion
agent. In 2008, FAMD stopped the sale of Chrome and Manganese Ore.
To purse the policy of value addition and to emerge as the 5
th
largest producer of Chrome
ore, FAMD has embarked on an aggressive growth plan. It is commissioning three new
plants for Ferro Alloys and enhancing the conversion base through appointment of exclusive
conversion agents with long term contracts. It has also undertaken project for Underground
mining at Sukinda to increase and sustain production of Chrome Ore.
The o?ve?stove of FAMD[s suess has eev its focus on community development. It
pursues process of engagement, need identification and implementation of various projects
that help improving the lives of people in and around the areas it operates in.
Pursuing a customer focused strategy; FAMD has emerged as the 6th largest FeCr producers
in the world, with global market share of 4.6%. It is second largest supplier of HC FeCr in
India. It is one of the largest Mn Alloy players in India with a focus to supply to TSG In house

The foundation stone for this 2.5 MTPA Blast Furnace was laid in June, 2006. The project
broadly involved a total of 80,000 m3 of civil work, 28,000 tons of structural work, 20,000
tons of equipment erection, 22,000 tons of refractory work and 1.5 km of rail track and 1500
km of electrical cabling involved. All the shells and major pipe line were fabricated in-house
by Growth Shop of Tata Steel and most of the equipments have been procured from
reputed OEMs Overseas. The whole plant has been designed within an area of 63 acre due
to space constraints and this is an engineering marvel. Also the project has been completed
in 25 months from the groundbreaking which is the shortest possible time ever taken for
construction of such a large furnace anywhere in the world.
The furnace is equipped with all modern features. Integrating state-of-the-art technology,
blast furnace ''H'', which is cooled with copper and cast iron staves, features a new
generation bell less top charging system. Two flat cast houses operating four tap holes are
fitted with TMT cast house machines. The high-performance hot blast stoves with internal
combustion chamber are equipped with a heat recovery system, recovering the waste heat
from the stoves'' exhaust so as to save on the fuel rates. Energy in terms of electrical power
is also recovered from the BF gas through a top gas pressure recovery turbine. Finally, the
scope of supplies also included a pulverized coal injection system and two slag granulation
plants.
The commissioning of the largest Blast Furnace of 3800 m3 in Jamshedpur Steel Works was
in the year when Tata Steel was celebrating its Centenary and this was a moment of great
pride not only for Tata Steel, but also the nation as a whole.

SWOT ANALYSIS
The steel industry is subject to risks and opportunities arising from external business
environment such as regional demand - supply imbalances, volatile swings in market
demand and prices, more recently exacerbated by swings in input prices, rising
interest rates, exchange rate volatility as well as the euro zone crisis and the global
The foundation stone for this 2.5 MTPA Blast Furnace was laid in June, 2006. The project
broadly involved a total of 80,000 m3 of civil work, 28,000 tons of structural work, 20,000
tons of equipment erection, 22,000 tons of refractory work and 1.5 km of rail track and 1500
km of electrical cabling involved. All the shells and major pipe line were fabricated in-house
by Growth Shop of Tata Steel and most of the equipments have been procured from
reputed OEMs Overseas. The whole plant has been designed within an area of 63 acre due
to space constraints and this is an engineering marvel. Also the project has been completed
in 25 months from the groundbreaking which is the shortest possible time ever taken for
construction of such a large furnace anywhere in the world.
The furnace is equipped with all modern features. Integrating state-of-the-art technology,
blast furnace ''H'', which is cooled with copper and cast iron staves, features a new
generation bell less top charging system. Two flat cast houses operating four tap holes are
fitted with TMT cast house machines. The high-performance hot blast stoves with internal
combustion chamber are equipped with a heat recovery system, recovering the waste heat
from the stoves'' exhaust so as to save on the fuel rates. Energy in terms of electrical power
is also recovered from the BF gas through a top gas pressure recovery turbine. Finally, the
scope of supplies also included a pulverized coal injection system and two slag granulation
plants.
The commissioning of the largest Blast Furnace of 3800 m3 in Jamshedpur Steel Works was
in the year when Tata Steel was celebrating its Centenary and this was a moment of great
pride not only for Tata Steel, but also the nation as a whole.

employees (account managers and application engineers).
Value addition through dedicated and high quality service centres.
Long emphasized service culture in all stages like presales, sales, and after-sales.
Enduring relationships with customers already established by the distributors/dealers
Major supply chain improvement initiatives through ‘TOC’ will help improvement of

Weaknesses
Limited availability with increasing demand may force the existing customers and
channel members to look for other sources.
Production being located at only one place (Jamshedpur in India), logistics
disadvantage is likely for supplying to certain parts of India.
Brand identity (logo) of Steelium is lost when processed further (like slitting,

Raw Materials Security and Price Volatility
Raw material availability depends, to a large extent, on worldwide supply and demand
relationships. Tata Steel is exposed to risk of non-availability and price volatility of essential
raw materials.
The existing operations are fully self-sufficient in iron ore. Around 60 per cent of our coal
requirement is imported (mainly from Australia) exposing us to risk of raw material supplies
and volatility in prices mainly due to natural calamities, labour issues and port congestions.
Also, for limestone Tata Steel is dependent on supplies from Gulf countries, which are
exposed to geopolitical risks.
The Company Raw Material Strategy proactively tracks the factors affecting availability and
prices of raw materials and plans its sourcing strategy accordingly. Alternate supply sources
are explored to reduce the risk exposure.

Continuous R&D efforts, with the support the Technology Group, are aimed at advancing
our position in technology for both products and processes.
Opportunities
Contract production by maintaining quality standard and other parameters can enlarge
customer base and sales volume.
Within the present market size, there exists considerable room for Steelium to expand
and enhance profitability.
Improvement of sales and realization potential is possible by increasing the supply of
drawing and deep drawing grades.
Further value can be created and captured by innovative marketing strategies like
production and sales of exclusive and branded furniture. If the existing distributors are
inducted, this will fulfill their growth needs too.
Continual improvement in service will help in sustaining competitive advantages.
As economies grow the demand for steel increases. India has been a net importer of steel,
especially the high value added end products, and is likely to remain a net importer for
some time to come. The demand for steel in India will continue to grow strong given the
need for infrastructure growth and urbanisation, providing market opportunities that
warrant further expansion of steel capacity.
Threats
By far the most significant threat ‘Steelium’ faces is that of losing some of the
important customers and distributors in the hand of competitors like Essar and Jindal
that can also become a quality national supplier.
On the back of this uncertainty, ‘Steelium’ has to continue investing on relationship
with channel members and customers.
In absence of any real differentiation in material quality, Steelium will have to
compete solely on the strength of intangibles.

The training and development needs of the workforce are assessed regularly, for officers
with a Personal Development Plan (PDP) and for non-officers with a Training Needs Survey
(TNS). The process for addressing training and development needs follows this method:
70% - On-the-job inputs
20% - Conversations, Mentoring and Coaching
10% - Classroom training
Training Facilities
Tata Steel has in-house training facilities both for technical and managerial training, through
the Technical Training Institute and Tata Management Development Centre (TMDC),
respectively. Advanced level training requirements, both technical and managerial, are met
through external programmes.
Training Facilities in Focus Areas
Safety training, based on Dupont guidelines has been of paramount importance as
Safety is an important area of focus for the Company.
Programmes are also rolled out in-house by TMTC, XLRI and IIMs for its officers.
Development in managerial competencies and leadership elements, especially for
the officers, is now also being addressed through on-the-job assignments, rotations,
working in task forces and committees.
In addition the company gives study leave facility for higher education and also
provides sponsorship for Masters/ Doctoral level programmes at world-class
institutes.
Tata Steel’s comprehensive agenda of training and development comes across
through two institutes mainly:
Shavak Nanavati Technical Institute (SNTI)
Based on the belief of Shri. Jamsetji Tata that technical training is one of the basic pillars of
economic growth in a developing country, the Jamshedpur Technical Institute was
established in 1921, and was later rechristened Shavak Nanavati Technical Institute (SNTI). It
has an illustrious history of having developed skilled manpower for many leading
enterprises in the country for decades. SNTI has kept pace with changing technologies by
constantly evolving new training schemes and developing infrastructure to meet every
emerging need. Over the years, it has advanced from being an institute that imparted
training in the maintenance areas to being a reputed centre for operational training. It has
revamped its training methods and become thoroughly learning oriented.

Places for Unwinding-The Clubs of Noamundi
For the executives and workforce of Tata Steel and other government & private
organisations, the clubs of Noamundi are the best joints to unwind after a day of
tiring schedule. The plush premises and airy atmosphere of Noamundi Club gives a
soothing relief to its member. The crystal clear blue water of the swimming pool is
the best place to take care of your fatigue as well as learning the art of floating in
water.
This club is having a modern gymnasium, Billiards room, Tennis court, Badminton
court, Card room, TT board, Carrom board, TV room, Library and many other such
recreational facilities and games. Recreation Club at Noamundi is also having such

Watershed – A New Beginning
Noamundi unit of TSRDS has registered a good

protection, with other benefits, has helped improve the
vegetation of land, which was almost on the margin of
degradation until 1988, the year when save forest
movement was started in a village called, Uishia.
At present there are 42 Save Forest Groups protecting
the forest in over 5,000 Acres of land. The annual
average rainfall in Noamundi is recorded approx. 1500 m.m. which is almost 2-3 times more
than the Rainfall in Punja. But the ^?uv-off ^is ove uajo? th?eat to the a?ea, ?hih uight

a need is felt to convert these strengths in to opportunities. The only way it can be done is
through watershed.

SAFETY AT TATA STEEL
The Tata Steel Group Vision speaks of creating value for all its
stakeholders. Goal 2012 encompasses key drivers in the area of Safety
with a focus on high hazard facilities, increase in occupational safety
and a keen eye on the overall health of Tata Steel employees.
Ensuring safety in all its operations has always been a strategic priority
for Tata Steel and it has adopted the outstanding safety programme of
M/s. DuPont Safety resources for establishing safety culture by
inculcating safe behaviour among its employees. Every activity in Tata
Steel is carried out not only with a cost efficient, quality conscious
purpose but also with the highlight always on safe practice. The
Group's Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate for Financial Year 2011-2012 was 0.68, an
improvement of 14% over last year. Workplace fatality is addressed separately through the
Fatality Risk Control Protocol, which aims at eliminating potential fatality hazards. The
Company aims at achieving a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of (LTIFR) of 0.4 by 2012,
which is the worldwide matrix for the measurement of safety.
Given the nature of steel-uavufatu?ivg ope?atiovs, Tata “teel[s ?elevtless fous ov the
safety and health of the employee is evident from the launch of an interminable Safety
Excellence Journey, to which new aspects of safety are added every year, and the

The Safety Excellence Journey has also been extended at Group companies in India
namely JUSCO, ISWP, Dhamra Port Company Limited, TS Alloys, Tata Sponge Limited
and TRL Krosaki Refractories Ltd. Tata Steel has also established a safety organisation
for the greenfield project at Odisha.
For sustainability of its operations and reducing Process Hazards by strengthening safety in
processes, Tata Steel has implemented Process Safety and Risk Management (PSRM) in high
hazardous operations. A comprehensive safety review process was conducted at
Jamshedpur for the start-up of the new hot strip mill, blast furnace and a number of other
key installations, helping to assess risks on new or modified facilities before the handover
from project to operations team. Nine high-hazard installations were modelled for toxic
releases and explosions using specially-created 'Phast Risk' software. Tata Steel is the first
steel company in India to use this advanced software, which is also in use at the Company's
European facilities.
Process safety has been a constant focus for all high hazard facilities (HHF) in Tata Steel
since 2008, when dedicated teams were put in place. They have identified high hazard
facilities across the European operations, and are now carrying out process hazard reviews.
Work is going on to determine the required safety integrity level with respect to identified
safety critical systems.
Realising the importance of Community Safety, the Company is working with SAFE
organisation and has engaged external consultants to arrange a systematic safety education
drive for school children in Jamshedpur and at the different mines and collieries.
Tata Steel in Europe has strengthened its Health and Safety Management systems with
comprehensive tools, standards and procedures. Its structured approach covers 15
fundamental principles including accountability, management of change, audit and review
and is based on best practices from BlueScope Steel – recognised as a leader in the steel
industry in this aspect.

NatSteel has also been recognised for its efforts in this area. NatSteel Singapore has
embarked on the two-year DuPont Safety journey in FY 09. The various initiatives include
continuous active involvement of senior management, safety training, formation of Apex
council for review, formation of risk containment groups to identify and contain high risk
activities and STOP (solve this on-going problem) teams to observe safety behaviour and
interact with employees on safety. The other subsidiaries will gradually be aligned to the

Human Resource Development Program:
The Human Resource Development Program (HRDP) was initiated in 2006 in recognition of
the corporate leadership and specialist roles that HR managers are required to fulfil.
Each year HRDP recruits the best talent from premier Indian business schools and Tata
companies, based on their performance, interest and capabilities, and trains them for a year
with rotations through sub-functions such as recruitment and sourcing, performance
management system, training and development, employee relations, community
development, etc. The programme ensures accelerated long-term growth through
customised as well as certified training and development during this period.
HRDP process:
All HRDP managers are selected by senior HR and business executives in Tata
companies after undergoing a rigorous three-stage process of filtering, post which
they are placed on a project-basis at Tata companies for three-month periods.
Managers undergo three rotational stints in core HR functions. They also undergo a
community development stint, where they work with the Tata trusts on assignments
in the domain of corporate sustainability for eight weeks.
Managers are then placed with a Tata company on a full-time basis after completion of the
four rotational stints.

Indian Steel Capacity
o Opportunities seen in the Indian steel market have brought in significant
investments in both Greenfield and Brownfield steel projects.
o Crude steel making capacity is set to grow from 90 million tonnes currently to 120
million tonnes by 2015.
o Bulk of the immediate capacity expansions are on the Brownfield sites and in final
stages of completion.
o Greenfield projects have been delayed after global economic slowdown in 2008 and
2009 period.
To sell its 13 million tonnes of flat steel, which it will produce every year from 2016, the
largest Indian steelmaker is betting on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with focus on
those that do not supply to the auto sector.
The annual capacity in Jamshedpur is increasing to 10 million tonnes of steel—7 million
tonnes will be flat steel, the rest will be long steel (used largely in the construction sector).
The Kalinganagar plant, being built in two phases and expected to be complete by 2016, will
have a capacity of 6 million tonnes per year, all of it flat steel. It will make Tata Steel the
largest producer of flat steel in India, and one of the largest in the world.
With the auto sector going through tough times, and car sales experiencing negative growth
for the first time in 10 years, in March, SMEs will be all the more important. But Tata Steel
will have to be wary of SMEs selling to the auto sector.
The focus is yielding results. From selling about 20,000 to 30,000 tonnes of steel to SMEs
every month earlier in the 2012-2013 financial years, the company now sells 90,000 tonnes
a month. Tata Steel is aiming to sell about 2 million tonnes a month by 2016.
Awards and Recognitions
Over the years, Tata Steel has won many rewards and recognitions. Be it corporate
excellence where the company engages in best practices, its state-of-the-art
products or their social endeavour, the Company has been rewarded in each sector
over and over again.
Deming Application Prize Awarded to Tata Steel
About the award

Indian Steel Capacity
o Opportunities seen in the Indian steel market have brought in significant
investments in both Greenfield and Brownfield steel projects.
o Crude steel making capacity is set to grow from 90 million tonnes currently to 120
million tonnes by 2015.
o Bulk of the immediate capacity expansions are on the Brownfield sites and in final
stages of completion.
o Greenfield projects have been delayed after global economic slowdown in 2008 and
2009 period.
To sell its 13 million tonnes of flat steel, which it will produce every year from 2016, the
largest Indian steelmaker is betting on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with focus on
those that do not supply to the auto sector.
The annual capacity in Jamshedpur is increasing to 10 million tonnes of steel—7 million
tonnes will be flat steel, the rest will be long steel (used largely in the construction sector).
The Kalinganagar plant, being built in two phases and expected to be complete by 2016, will
have a capacity of 6 million tonnes per year, all of it flat steel. It will make Tata Steel the
largest producer of flat steel in India, and one of the largest in the world.
With the auto sector going through tough times, and car sales experiencing negative growth
for the first time in 10 years, in March, SMEs will be all the more important. But Tata Steel
will have to be wary of SMEs selling to the auto sector.
The focus is yielding results. From selling about 20,000 to 30,000 tonnes of steel to SMEs
every month earlier in the 2012-2013 financial years, the company now sells 90,000 tonnes
a month. Tata Steel is aiming to sell about 2 million tonnes a month by 2016.
