Tata Steel Aims to Boost Steel Production via Recycling
Tata Steel, a big steel maker, wants to make steel in a new way by recycling old steel.
They plan to produce a lot of steel this way in the next 10-15 years.
Right now, they make a lot of steel in India, the UK, the Netherlands, and Thailand.
They are changing how they make steel in the UK to use electricity and scrap metal instead of old methods.
They also have a new recycling plant opening soon.
This is part of their plan to be more environmentally friendly and stop using old blast furnaces in Europe by 2035.
Tata Steel aims to produce 10-15 million tonnes of steel through recycling in 10-15 years.
The company's total capacity is 35 million tonnes, producing 30.92 MT in FY25.
Tata Steel is transitioning to scrap-based electric arc furnace manufacturing in the UK.
A 0.75-million tonne recycling-based steelmaking unit is set to open in Ludhiana.
Tata Steel plans to have no blast furnaces operating in Europe by 2035.
