From coarse and rocky iron ore to tough and shiny steel - the making of the alloy is a journey

that
starts from the crust of the earth, involves complex metallurgical reactions and processes, and
demands technological expertise of the highest degree. Tata Steel’s Jamshedpur plant, the very first
steel plant in India (production started in 1912), is today among the country’s largest integrated steel-
making facilities, producing around 10 million tonnes of steel every year.
As a global and diversified mining business, Tata steel are committed to ensuring sustainable mining
through all of our operations spread over the world. All our key mining sites are certified under EMS
ISO 14001, the international environmental8 management standard. Tata have also adopted a holistic
business model that looks at the entire value chain comprising of:
• Steel Value Chain: From captive mining to downstream steel businesses.
• Raw Materials Value Chain: The mining of chrome and manganese ore to production and sale of
ferro-alloys & minerals.
• Other Businesses: Such as equipment manufacturing, bearings and agricultural equipment
manufacturing.

Coal

Tata Steel has captive coal mines at Jharia & West Bokaro, in the state of Jharkhand, located within
200 km from Jamshedpur. 
Consumption-coking coal 3.50 million tonnes of Rs.7357.81 million.
Iron
The iron ore units are located in Noamundi, Joda, Khondbond and Katamati in the states of Jharkhand
and Odisha. With an annual production of 360,000 MT, the Ferro Alloys and Minerals Division
(FAMD) is the largest non-steel business unit of Tata Steel, operating chrome and manganese ore
reserves in Odisha.

Currently, Tata Steel transports 63 per cent cargo by rail and 37 per cent by road.

"We will transport finished steel coils, rebars to south India and Mumbai through the coastal route.
Inland waterways will be used to transport raw material like limestone from Middle-east and coal
from Australia through barges from ports to our kalinganagar plant," said Amitabh Panda, group
head shipping & logistics, Tata Steel. "This way a hinterland-based plant becomes a port-based
plant."

Currently, Tata Steel imports limestone, which is used in the steel-making process,
from the Middle-East.
The company was also looking at acquiring iron-ore and coal mines overseas to
feed its growing demand for raw materials for expansion of steel-making capacity.
Tata Steel has limestone mines in Madhya Pradesh.
