Tata Steel Dispatches Inaugural Batch of Galvanised Coils from Kalinganagar Facility

Tata Steel has flagged off the first dispatch of galvanised coils from its newly operational Continuous Galvanising Line (CGL-1) at the Cold Rolling Mill complex in Kalinganagar, Odisha. This significant rollout is part of the company’s wider expansion drive and showcases its forward-looking investment in advanced manufacturing technologies aimed at serving the automotive and appliance sectors.

Advanced Line Flagged Off with Senior Leadership Presence 

The first batch from the CGL-1 was officially flagged off by Karamveer Singh, General Manager (Operations), Tata Steel Kalinganagar, in the presence of Rabindra Kumar Jamuda, President of Tata Steel Kalinganagar Workers Union, along with other senior executives. 

The facility’s cutting-edge capabilities include 3rd-generation air-knife systems with magnetic stabilisers, an oxidation chamber, and industry-best secondary coatings. These technologies collectively enable the production of coated Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) with superior consistency and reliability, tailored to meet the rigorous demands of the automotive and appliance segments.

Company Statement and Strategic Context 

Prabhat Kumar, Vice President - Marketing & Sales (Flat Products), stated, “The new Continuous Galvanising Line (CGL-1) at Kalinganagar has been engineered to produce advanced coated products with superior surface finish, formability, and corrosion resistance, specifically outlined to meet the stringent quality requirements of the automotive and appliance sectors.”

This commissioning is part of the Phase II expansion at Kalinganagar, following last year’s successful launch of India’s largest blast furnace at the site. With an investment of ₹27,000 crore, this phase has boosted the plant’s total steelmaking capacity from 3 MTPA to 8 MTPA. The CGL-1 is a key part of this ramp-up, alongside other modern installations such as the Pellet Plant and Coke Plant, all of which employ sustainable and technologically advanced practices.

Tata Steel Kalinganagar now serves a wide array of critical sectors, including defence, automotive, infrastructure, engineering, capital goods, oil & gas, renewable energy, and shipbuilding. The addition of the CGL-1 reinforces the site’s role as a cornerstone in Tata Steel’s production ecosystem and national industrial growth.
