* worldsteel methodology allows credits due to export to various co-products / byproducts (incl. gases). No such credits are included in GHG Protocol estimation. Scope 1.1 emissions under worldsteel scope considered direct emissions under scope 1 for steelmaking sites.

Consolidated emissions of Tata Steel has been arrived at by using equity based approach

For TSJ, TSK and TSM, Absolute Scope 1 emissions are 46.7 MntCO2e, Absolute Scope 2 emissions are 4.4 MntCO2e, Absolute Scope 3 emissions are 1.5 MntCO2e.
