Tata Steel Ltd.

Tata Steel is reportedly all set to set-up new research and development (R&D) hub in the UK focused on low-carbon technology, after signing an agreement with the University of Warwick in the UK, with which it has long had links.

A research facility at the university’s Warwick Manufacturing Group will open at the university later this year, with 40 Tata Steel scientists based there. Tata Steel will gradually shift its research and development activities to this site.

Research will focus on developing new materials for Tata Steel’s customer base, including those used in renewable energy generation and more fuel-efficient cars and planes. Other areas of research include programmes to improve steel production, and research into emerging and breakthrough technologies.

Tata Steel, the flagship company of the Tata group is the first integrated steel plant in Asia and is now the world’s second most geographically diversified steel producer and a Fortune 500 Company.
