The Ludhiana EAF plant has a capacity of 0.75 million tonnes per annum and is designed to achieve CO₂ emissions less than 0.3 tonnes per tonne of steel, marking a crucial step towards Tata Steel's Net Zero emissions goal by 2045.
The inauguration ceremony was graced by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Singh Mann, along with N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Steel, and T V Narendran, CEO & Managing Director, Tata Steel.
Designed to support low-carbon steelmaking, the plant will utilize nearly 50% renewable energy and 100% steel scrap as raw material, sourcing approximately 40% of the scrap from the company's steel recycling plant in Rohtak, Haryana. The facility will produce construction-grade steel rebar under the 'Tata Tiscon' brand, aiming to strengthen Tata Steel's market presence in the construction segment.
Tata Steel has also been actively involved in community development near the plant through the Tata Steel Foundation, focusing on health, education, agriculture, and women empowerment.
