Tata Steel has launched a new scrap-based electric arc furnace in Ludhiana, symbolizing a significant step toward sustainable steelmaking. The facility, marked by low CO₂ emissions and high renewable energy use, showcases Tata Steel's commitment to a greener future and net-zero goals by 2045.

On Friday, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann inaugurated Tata Steel's cutting-edge scrap-based electric arc furnace, developed with an investment of approximately Rs 3,200 crore. The ceremony highlighted Punjab's attractive industrial environment.
