Mumbai, August 6, 2025: Tata Steel Kalinganagar has successfully rolled out its first batch of galvanised coils from the plant’s new state-of-the-art Continuous Galvanising Line (CGL-1) at the Cold Rolling Mill complex.

The batch was flagged off by Karamveer Singh, General Manager (Operations), Tata Steel Kalinganagar, in the presence of Rabindra Kumar Jamuda, President, Tata Steel Kalinganagar Worker’s Union, along with other senior officials.

This milestone marks a significant step in Tata Steel’s capabilities, particularly for the automotive and appliances sector. The advanced Continuous Galvanising Line technology incorporates a third-generation air-knife with magnetic stabiliser, an oxidation chamber, and best-in-class secondary coatings. These features enable the production of high-quality automotive steel, including coated Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS), ensuring exceptional consistency and reliability.

Prabhat Kumar, Vice President - Marketing & Sales (Flat Products), Tata Steel, said: “The new Continuous Galvanising Line (CGL-1) at Kalinganagar has been engineered to produce advanced coated products with superior surface finish, formability, and corrosion resistance - specifically outlined to meet the stringent quality requirements of the automotive and appliance sectors. This state-of-the-art line has been designed with a forward-looking approach, tailored specifically to meet the evolving needs of our discerning customers. With advanced technology and sustainable practices at its core, the facility reinforces Tata Steel’s position as a trusted partner for the future of mobility.”

Last year, Tata Steel had successfully commissioned India’s largest blast furnace at Kalinganagar, Odisha. With a total investment of Rs 27,000 crore, the Phase II expansion at Kalinganagar has augmented the total capacity at the site from 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 8 MTPA. The CGL-1, part of the Cold Rolling Mill, is an integral part of the Phase II expansion alongside other facilities including Pellet Plant and Coke Plant – each incorporating advanced technologies and sustainable practices.

Being one of India’s most modern and advanced integrated steel plants, Tata Steel Kalinganagar produces world-class steel for critical sectors such as defence, automotive, infrastructure, engineering, capital goods, oil & gas, renewable energy, and shipbuilding.
