Tata Steel has obtained funding under the Indo‑Sweden Industry Transition Partnership (ITP) to spearhead two major decarbonisation‐focused projects, marking a significant step in its sustainability agenda. The ITP  supported by the Swedish Energy Agency, the government of India’s science ministry and the international consortium LeadIT aims to accelerate low-carbon industrial transformation across heavy industries including steel and cement. 

Under the new programme, Tata Steel will collaborate with Indian academic institutions such as IIT Hyderabad and IIT ISM Dhanbad, as well as technology partners including Swedish firms Green14 and Cemvision, and domestic player JK Cement. 

The first initiative  code-named “MiCOBlast” will explore a microwave plasma-assisted method to convert blast-furnace off-gases into value-added products, offering a potential pathway for carbon-utilisation in steelmaking. 

Tata Steel’s leadership underlines its commitment to pioneering disruptive, science-based decarbonisation technologies. The collaboration is expected to strengthen cross-border innovation and help chart a sustainable, low-emission future for India’s steel industry.
