Tata Steel Commissions First Scrap-Based EAF in India at Ludhiana

The project anchors Tata Steel’s shift to lower‑carbon, scrap‑based steelmaking on its path to net‑zero by 2045.

Overview

  • Tata Steel’s Ludhiana facility involves about ₹3,200 crore of investment and has a 0.75 mtpa capacity.
  • The plant is designed to limit CO₂ emissions to under 0.3 tonne per tonne of steel with nearly 50% renewable power.
  • It will operate on 100% steel scrap, with roughly 40% sourced from Tata Steel’s Rohtak recycling plant in Haryana.
  • Output will focus on construction-grade rebar sold under the Tata Tiscon brand to strengthen supply to the building sector.
  • Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann inaugurated the plant with senior Tata leaders present, as the state projects around 2,500 jobs and ₹200–300 crore in annual tax revenue.
