Mumbai, August 19, 2025: Tata Agrico, Tata Steel’s oldest brand in the agricultural tools segment, has been awarded the prestigious GreenPro Certification for its range of agricultural tools, making it the first brand to receive this recognition in the Indian agriculture sector.

The GreenPro Certification conferred by the Confederation of Indian Industry’s (CII) Green Products and Services Council acknowledges Tata Agrico’s commitment to promoting sustainable and environmentally responsible agricultural tools. The certification was presented to Tata Steel at an event held in Chennai on August 13, 2025, in the presence of industry leaders, sustainability experts, and dignitaries from CII.

Peeyush Gupta, Vice President - TQM, Group Strategic Procurement & Supply Chain, Tata Steel, said: “We are proud to receive CII’s GreenPro Certification for Tata Agrico, a testament to our commitment to deliver high-quality agricultural tools that support sustainable farming practices and reduce carbon footprint. In a predominantly agrarian economy like India, such initiatives go a long way in promoting a culture of making responsible environmental choices and support the nation’s journey towards sustainable agriculture.”

The GreenPro Certification is a Type-I eco-label that helps customers choose products that meet strict environmental performance standards. Products certified under this programme undergo rigorous evaluation process covering raw material sourcing, manufacturing processes, product performance, recycling potential, and overall environmental impact.

This certification will strengthen Tata Agrico’s leadership in the agri-tool industry by integrating sustainability with product innovation. Farmers and dealers of farm implements across India can now benefit from tools that are both durable and environmentally sustainable, thus supporting India’s shift towards sustainable agriculture.

Tata Agrico is the oldest brand of Tata Steel, launched in 1925 with a mission to contribute towards nation-building. Since then, Tata Agrico has been a pioneer in superior quality agricultural implements and has been the leading manufacturer of all hand-held implements catering to the agriculture & infrastructure sectors.
