Jamsetji Tata sent a telegram to Charles Page
Perin, a geologist and metallurgist asking
whether he could ride a bicycle. Mystified, he
replied in the affirmative. When he reached
Sakchi, he understood; miles of rutted road
defied any conventional means of transport!
He and his team found 3 billion tonnes of ore in
the area. |
The foundation of a global conglomerate was sown
with this alliance. Expertise, and experience from all
over were leveraged to drive the company forward.
Today, Tata Steel is an international steel major with
a manufacturing and marketing presence all over
the world. The strategy has been that of growth and
globalisation through organic and inorganic routes.
The company was originally constructed for a capacity
of 160,000 tonnes of pig iron, 100,000 tonnes of ingot
steel, 70,000 tonnes of rails, beams and shapes and
20,000 tonnes of bars, hoops and rods. Constant
modernisation and introduction of state-of-the-art
technology has enabled Tata Steel to stay ahead
in the industry and successfully meet expectations
of all sections of stakeholders. It is one of the most
modern steel making facilities and also one of the
lowest cost producers of steel in the world.
Consequent to the recent acquisition of Corus,
Tata Steel has a consolidated crude steel production
capacity of 28 million tonnes and the second largest
global distribution network in over 25 countries.
With the aspiration to emerge as an international steel
major coupled with a sharp eye for opportunities and
an unmatched core competence, Tata Steel is poised
for global leadership.
