Tata Steel to Commission Ludhiana Manufacturing Plant in March 2026

Tata Steel Limited, an Indian multinational steel company headquartered in Mumbai, is developing a manufacturing plant in Ludhiana, Punjab, which is expected to commence operations in March 2026. Tata Steel announced the development of this plant in October 2023.

Initial investment for Tata Steel’s Ludhiana project was Rs. 2,600 crore, and it has now been increased to Rs. 3,200 crore. The plant will have a 0.75 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) electric arc furnace-based steelmaking facility, along with a rebar mill. While announcing the development of this plant, the company mentioned that this will be its first low-carbon Green Steel plant in India. The Ludhiana plant will source scrap from Hi-Tech Valley Industrial Park and nearby auto industry plants.

Tata Steel’s Ludhiana plant is being developed on 1,500 acres. This project is expected to create job opportunities for about 2,500 people. This upcoming plant will be equipped with electric arc furnaces, which have lower carbon emissions than conventional steelmaking methods, which typically use blast furnaces.
