Tata Steel aims 15 MT production via recycling in 10-15 years: CEO T V Narendran
New Delhi, Jun 15 (PTI) Home-grown Tata Steel, which is adopting low carbon emitting steel making technologies in India and Europe, aims to have 10-15 million tonnes of production through recycling route in the next 10-15 years, the company's CEO and MD T V Narendran has said.
In FY25, Tata Steel produced 30.92 million tonnes of steel out of its total capacity of 35 million tonnes spread over India, the UK, the Netherlands and Thailand.
"...linearity to circularity is one shift we are making.... you will see in the next 10-15 years, 10-15 million tonnes of Tata Steel's production will be through the recycling route," Narendran said when asked about his vision on sustainability for Tata Steel.
The company aims to scale up its steel making capacity to 40 million tonnes by 2030 in India. In the UK, Tata Steel is in the process of transition towards scrap-based electric arc furnace (EAF) manufacturing from blast furnace steel making route at its 3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) plant located at Port Talbot in South Wales.
Narendran further said Tata Steel has set up a recycling plant near Delhi a few years back. The 0.75-million tonne recycling based steelmaking unit being set up in Ludhiana will be ready by the end of this financial year.
"In the UK we've closed the blast furnaces and we're building an electric arc furnace. In Netherlands, we are in conversation with the Dutch government to do the similar thing. So, by 2035, we won't have any blast furnaces operating in Europe. So, from producing 10 million tonnes of steel using blast furnaces, we'll be producing 10 million tonnes of steel using alternate process routes such as greener," he said.
In the Netherlands, Tata Steel owns a steel manufacturing plant at IJmuiden, which produced an estimated 6.75 MTPA of liquid steel in FY25.
In India, Tata Steel has over 26 million tonnes of steel capacity and 1.7 million tonnes in Thailand.

Airspace Closure Over Iran Disrupts Flight Paths, Hits Indian Carriers' Europe Routes
Last Updated: Amid the conflict and growing tensions between Iran and Israel, the Iranian airspace has been shut for commercial flights The closure of Iranian airspace due to rising tensions between Iran and Israel is causing major disruptions to Indian airlines flying to Europe, officials said on Sunday. IndiGo flights to Tbilisi in Georgia and Baku in Azerbaijan now have to make a technical stop for refuelling in Doha, Qatar. Meanwhile, Air India is re-routing its European flights through Egyptian and Greek airspace to avoid the closed Iranian skies. The Iranian airspace has been closed for commercial flights since Friday amid ongoing conflict, forcing airlines to take longer routes. This has increased flight times and caused congestion over alternate paths. An official explained that IndiGo uses narrow-body Airbus A321 planes on its routes to Tbilisi and Baku. These aircraft do not have the range to fly nonstop on longer routes, which is why refuelling stops at Doha have become necessary. On the other hand, Air India operates wide-body Boeing 787s and Airbus A350s on its European flights. While Air India's flights do not require technical stops, the alternate routing has increased flight durations by up to 90 minutes. Both IndiGo and Air India have not made formal comments, but IndiGo posted on its X account that the airspace restrictions over Iran are causing congestion and possible delays on routes to and from the Gulf region. It added that extended travel times should be expected while they operate via alternate paths. Air India also posted on X on Saturday that, due to the situation in Iran and parts of the Middle East, some flights are operating on longer, alternative routes to ensure passenger safety. The longer flights increase operational costs for airlines because of extra fuel consumption and also create challenges with Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) for crew members. Earlier this year, IndiGo temporarily cancelled flights to Almaty in Kazakhstan and Tashkent in Uzbekistan because of aircraft range limits following Pakistan's airspace closure.

Israel-Iran Tensions: Puri says India has adequate energy supplies
'India's energy strategy is shaped by successfully navigating the trilemma of energy availability, affordability and sustainability,' he said. 'We have adequate energy supplies for the coming months.' Global oil prices have jumped to their highest level since January after Israel struck Iran, in a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East. In a post on X, the minister said he held a periodic review of energy availability scenario with the captains of the Indian oil industry. New Delhi, Jun 13 (PTI) India, the world's third-largest oil importer and fourth biggest gas buyer, has enough energy supplies for the coming months, Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said amid escalating tensions in the globe's biggest energy supply regions. The rate of the benchmark Brent crude was up by more than 10 per cent shortly after the news emerged, but eased a little. Brent was trading close to USD 75 a barrel, up more than 5 per cent over Thursday's close. India imports more than 85 per cent of its crude oil needs and roughly half of its natural gas requirement. More than 40 per cent of the oil imports and half of the gas imports come from the Middle East. Despite the spike on Friday, oil prices are still more than 10 per cent lower than where they were at the same point last year. They are also well below over USD 100 a barrel rate seen in early 2022 following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Russia is India's largest supplier of crude oil, which is refined into fuels like petrol and diesel in refineries. Qatar is India's biggest supplier of natural gas, which is used to make fertilisers, generate electricity and turned into CNG to run automobiles and piped to household kitchens for cooking.
