Tata Steel Deploys EVs for Customer Deliveries at Sahibabad Plant

30 Jun 2025 CW Team

Tata Steel, a pioneer in sustainable industrial practices, has taken another significant step forward in its green mobility journey by deploying Tata Motors manufactured electric vehicles (EVs) for customer deliveries from its Sahibabad plant, located in Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh. This marks the first-ever use of Tata Motors made EVs for outbound logistics from a Tata Steel plant location.

This initiative is in partnership with M/s AVG Logistics, who will operate Tata Motors-manufactured electric vehicles for deliveries to key customers. This initiative not only reinforces Tata Steel’s commitment to reducing Scope 3 emissions but also contributes to significant operational cost savings—up to 70% compared to conventional fuel-based transportation.

The initiative was flagged off by Mukesh Kumar, Executive Plant Head (EPH), Tata Steel, Sahibabad, Jagjit Singh Bhatti, Chief Logistics Operations, Tata Steel Meramandali, Suman Biswas, Chief Integrated Planning, Tata Steel, Rajesh Kaul, Vice President, Trucks Business, Tata Motors, Rajesh Khanna, Head Product Planning, Tata Motors along with other senior officials.

Tata Steel first began integrating EVs for internal logistics in July 2021, with deployments across its Jamshedpur plant and various stockyards and steel processing centres (SPCs). These vehicles are used for intra-facility movement and the transport of raw material hot rolled (RM HR) coils to downstream operations. Currently, Tata Steel operates ~300 alternative-fuel vehicles across its operations, a 57% increase from FY’2023-24.

Tata Steel is also working closely with its vendor ecosystem and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to invest in EV charging infrastructure and build strategic partnerships that will enable broader adoption of green transport solutions in the years ahead.
