Narendran, CEO and Managing Director of Tata Steel, spoke publicly in recent months about the state of the Indian economy, global steel markets, and the company's operational strategy. At the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi, Narendran said China's steel overcapacity remains a concern for Indian producers, noting that trade actions by the Indian government have been taken to restrict the flow of Chinese steel. He argued that companies interested in participating in the Indian market should invest locally and create jobs, rather than exporting surplus steel at unprofitable prices. He also discussed Tata Steel's efforts to adapt to regional conditions, including its transition in the UK from blast furnaces to an electric arc furnace using scrap, with plans to reduce CO2 emissions from steelmaking there from 6 million tons to 1 million tons. In interviews with CNBC-TV18 and NDTV Profit, Narendran described the Indian economy, including 7.8% GDP growth in the April-to-June quarter, as strong, with positive demand across sectors such as auto and construction. He said private investment is picking up but flagged external risks to the Indian economy, including global interest rates, energy costs, and the Middle East situation. He emphasized the need for competitiveness and for industry and government to work together on issues such as infrastructure, ease of doing business, and non-tariff barriers like the EU's CBAM. Speaking at the IMA National Management Convention in September, Narendran said global shifts in trade, investment, technology, and supply chains create significant opportunities for India, but capturing them will depend on competitiveness and building domestic capabilities. He also said India has shown it can adopt technology quickly, including in artificial intelligence, while stressing the difference between assembling products and developing technology and intellectual property themselves.

“The reorganization of global supply chains creates a significant opportunity for India. But ultimately companies will come to India because it makes economic sense for them to do so. They will look at cost, quality, productivity, infrastructure, logistics, energy and the ability to deliver consistently at scale. So competitiveness remains fundamental. We have made progress on many of these fronts, but there is still ”

“So overall at Tata Steel level it has had a impact of 10 million pounds in UK, 20 million euros in Netherlands and about 800 crores in India.
