Chief Speak

R&D and innovation is essential for progress in all industries. The steel industry is no different. At Tata Steel, we have always felt an urgency to innovate. In fact, the launch of Tata Steel’s R&D Division in 1937 was the very first start of Industrial R&D in all of India. Clearly, trying new things is in our genes: the search for new ideas, the willingness to accept a challenge and the desire to change are our way of life in this dynamic and growing company.

For R&D to blossom it is important define our role according to the future needs of our Customers and Society. These are exciting times. We experience unprecedented growth opportunities in all our markets. At the same time, we face substantial challenges in the form of high costs for raw materials and the need to adequately respond to Climate Change.

Leading companies generate superior performance by emphasizing the need for breakthrough innovation. Our guiding principle at Tata Steel is therefore a desire to lead. We wish to be the best, to be admired and to make a lasting positive mark on the societies in which we operate.
