Cold Rolling Mill

A quick calculation would immediately show that these moves on 24,000 employees would leave Tata Steel with just around 10,000 primary employees, perhaps even lesser.

Parked inside the spaceship-like control room of one of the plants, the figure hit us like a sledgehammer; and it took us almost a few minutes to digest the magnanimity of it. And we’re not even talking about those 24,000 mentioned above. Digest this – while around 30,000 odd employees sweating it out in the blast furnaces & Hot Rolling Mill bring out 2.5 million tonnes of steel annually, guess, in your wildest thoughts, how many employees does it take for Tata Steel’s most recent Cold Rolling Mill (CRM) with cutting edge technology to take out 1.5 million tonnes of steel annually.
