Tata Steel has completed the amalgamation process for five businesses. The entities include Tata Steel Mining Limited, Tata Steel Long Products, S&T Mining Company , The Tinplate Company of India and Tata Metaliks Limited.  All five companies had reported  cumulative annual turnover of Rs 19,700 cr in FY23.

" The amalgamation is value-accretive and will also drive synergies through raw material security, centralised procurement,
optimisation of inventories, reduced logistics costs, and better facility utilisation," the steelmaker said.
