JSW Steel rises 2% on gas supply worries HSBC raises Tata Steel target to ₹250 British Steel to supply 120,000 mt billet to Nigeria ₹3,200 crore Tata Steel EAF starts in Ludhiana
Tata Steel has awarded a £1.25 billion contract to South Wales-based Systems Group to refurbish the continuous casters at its Port Talbot steelworks. This marks a major step in the company’s transition to low-carbon steel production.
The upgrade focuses on extending the life of the plant’s two casters, which convert molten steel into solid slabs. These improvements are essential for integrating a new electric arc furnace (EAF) scheduled to come online by the end of 2027.
Once operational, the EAF is expected to cut carbon emissions at the site by approximately 90%, equivalent to 5 million tonnes of CO₂ annually.
Systems Group will oversee structural enhancements and replacement of critical piping. The contract also includes plans for additional upgrades to electrical, mechanical, and control systems in future phases.
Tata Steel’s Head of Engineering, Ian Ellis, said the refurbishment avoids a costly rebuild while ensuring the plant is ready for modern, sustainable steelmaking. Systems Group Managing Director Ryan O’Neill highlighted the project’s potential to boost local employment and advance green industry goals.
This investment is part of Tata Steel’s broader £1.25 billion transformation of its UK operations, supported by £500 million in UK government funding.
By modernizing its infrastructure and adopting greener technologies, Tata Steel is positioning Port Talbot at the forefront of the UK’s sustainable industrial future.
