Tata Steel and Bangalore police raids in Kanakpura road and seized fake Tata Wiron packaging material

Bangalore, July 14, 2020

As part of the ongoing effort to protect its brand and assets, Tata Steel, with the support of Bangalore Police, conducted a joint raid at Indira Roll Forming Industries located in Kanakpura road in Bangalore on June 18. The team seized 4 huge bundles of fake packaging material from the sellers. An FIR has been lodged in this connection.

According to the first information received, the team found that Indira Roll Forming Industries was involved in selling of fake barbed wires with the fake packaging which is similar to other wired products sold by Tata Steel and were passing off unoriginal barbed wire products as that of Tata Steel’s Tata Wiron product.

Tata Wiron’s barbed wire is packaged in a unique manner and all original products are sold with the same packaging by authorised dealers and distributors.
