Tata Steel is set to establish a new green steel plant in Jamshedpur based on Hisarna technology, marking a major step towards low-carbon steelmaking in India. The proposed facility will have a production capacity of 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) and is aimed at significantly reducing carbon emissions compared to traditional blast furnace routes.

Hisarna is an advanced ironmaking process that allows iron ore and coal to be used directly in a single reactor, eliminating several pre-processing steps such as sintering and coking. This leads to lower energy consumption and can cut CO₂ emissions by up to 50% when combined with other measures, making it a key technology in the global shift towards greener steel.

By choosing Jamshedpur—its flagship steelmaking hub—for the Hisarna plant, Tata Steel is reinforcing the city’s role as a centre for technology innovation and sustainable production. The project aligns with the company’s broader decarbonisation roadmap and India’s net-zero ambitions, and is expected to serve as a reference model for future green steel capacities in the country.
