The steel recycling plant is equipped with most modern equipment and machinery including shredder, baler and material handlers.

The company also announced launch of two new brands of baled and shredded ferrous scrap from the facility- Tata FerroBaled and Tata FerroShred. These processed scrap will play an important role in filling the raw material gap present in the country’s steelmaking industry, thereby reducing the industry’s high reliance on imported scrap.

Yogesh Bedi, Chief of Steel Recyling Business at Tata Steel noted that the plant’s commissioning marks the culmination of the vision of TV Narendran- the company’s CEO and MD. The standardised high quality scrap products will raise the bar of the scrap industry, he said.
