Vision of Sports

To engage employees, their families and the community in sporting activities for a healthy lifestyle & well-being.


To add to company’s brand image through excellence in sports and by empowering the community through sports.

Encouragement and support for sports at Tata Steel dates back nearly a century, and is part of its culture. Tata Steel has been one of the foremost corporate promoters of Indian sports – having built academies for football, archery, athletics, hockey and sport climbing.

It was a tradition started by the company’s first chairman Sir Dorabji Tata, who financed India’s first Olympic team to Antwerp, Belgium in 1920. Tata Steel later established the Jamshedpur Athletic Club in 1927, and started sports competitions for working women and children.

The testimony to our efforts in adding value to the overall sports eco system of the country is that Tata Steel has produced 1 Padma Bhushan, 11 Padma Shri, 1 Khel Ratna, 5 Dronacharya and 41 Arjuna Awardees in the field of sports.

Residential sports academies of international standards have been established for preparing international level players:
