Company Profile

steel company. Tata Steel is among the lowest cost producers of steel in the world and one
of the few select steel companies in the world that is EVA+ (Economic Value Added).

competitive edge. Determined to be a major global steel player, Tata Steel has recently
included in its fold NatSteel, Asia (2 MTPA) and Millennium Steel (1.7 MTPA) creating a
manufacturing network in eight markets in South East Asia and Pacific rim countries. Soon
the Jamshedpur plant will expand its capacity from 5 MTPA to 7 MTPA by 2008. The Company
plans to enhance its capacity, manifold through organic growth and investments. The
Company's wire manufacturing unit in Sri Lanka is known as Lanka Special Steel, while the
joint venture in Thailand for limestone mining is known as Sila Eastern.
Tata Steel's products are targeted at the quality conscious auto sector
and the burgeoning construction industry. With wire manufacturing facilities in India, Sri
Lanka and Thailand, the Company plans to emerge as a major global player in the wire
business.

it is also committed to being a good corporate citizen. Tata Steel extends support to the
economically underprivileged not by charity but by strengthening and empowering them with
expertise and knowledge. It community outreach programmes covers the Tata Steel managed
