Tata Steel Deploys 300+ AI Agents with Google Cloud to Redefine Industrial Efficiency

Tata Steel, a global leader in industrial manufacturing, and Google Cloud today announced a major expansion of their strategic partnership to architect the future of steel and advance Tata Steel’s unified, enterprise-wide agentic AI strategy. Using Google Cloud’s unified technology stack, Tata Steel is rapidly scaling autonomous capabilities across its vast global organisation, successfully deploying a fleet of over 300 specialised AI agents in just nine months to drive efficiency and precision across its global operations.

"Working with Google Cloud has allowed us to turn AI from a technical experiment into a specialised partner for every employee. This isn't just about new tools; it’s about a continuous engine of execution that enables our people to act on insights instantly. From predicting asset maintenance to reducing customer response times, we are using agentic AI to simplify the most complex parts of our business and drive execution at an entirely new scale," said Jayanta Banerjee, Chief Information Officer, Tata Steel.

Sashi Sreedharan, Managing Director, Google Cloud India, said: "While many industrial players are still navigating the complexities of digital transformation, Tata Steel has moved at unprecedented speed to deploy AI at a scale few in the industry have achieved. Their success demonstrates what is possible when an organisation anchors its strategy in a unified AI and data ecosystem. By creating a new blueprint for autonomous business processes at scale, Tata Steel has demonstrated that the synergy between a unified data cloud and generative AI is the key to turning industrial complexity into a distinct, data-driven competitive edge."

Turning data into a competitive edge

Specialised AI is only as powerful as the decades of operational data that fuels it - and Tata Steel’s early investment in a consolidated data architecture on Google Cloud enabled the Company to move beyond fragmented tools to create a single, enterprise-wide engine for execution. This transformation is driven by two key platforms that bridge the gap between complex data and real-world action:

The first is Zen AI which is empowering a new generation of developers in Tata Steel. This internal low-code platform enables employees who are not data scientists - such as software developers and frontline managers – to build, test, and deploy their own specialised AI agents. Built using Google Cloud’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) and integrated with BigQuery and Google Cloud Storage, Zen AI unifies decades of structured operational data with unstructured sources like video and documents within a secure, governed framework. This in turn has transformed Tata Steel’s global workforce into a distributed engine of innovation, where small, agile teams can now deploy enterprise-grade AI solutions with speed and precision that rivals the most nimble technology disruptors.

The second is the Tata Steel Digital Assistant (TDA) - a sophisticated internal portal that synthesises once-siloed information into a single interface, acting as a command center for decision making. With the ability to query data across three distinct domains - global public data, internal enterprise systems (such as operational APIs, SOPs, and financial records), and proprietary user data (including call recordings, complex spreadsheets, and PDFs) - TDA allows employees to navigate volatility with unprecedented precision. For example, by layering real-time global news and geopolitical sentiment over traditional commodity price data, the AI agents can provide predictive market intelligence, helping the Company stay ahead of supply chain shifts and market fluctuations. By turning data like call recordings and PDFs into actionable insights, Tata Steel is also transforming its vast organisational knowledge into a distinct, data-driven competitive advantage.

Driving organisational efficiency and transforming employee experience with AI

Tata Steel is also using agentic AI to eliminate administrative bottlenecks and reshape how the Company manages internal operations. For example, TDA assists the internal HR helpdesk in resolving more than 70% of routine employee tickets autonomously, saving hours of time for individuals across teams.

This efficiency further extends into core business functions through a dedicated fleet of business process agents. These agents work in harmony to streamline complex back-office workflows, including intelligent invoice processing, goods and services tax (GST) creditable/non-creditable classifications, and specialised contract analysis. By automating these repetitive, manual tasks, Tata Steel is easing the strain on teams across the organisation and allowing them to focus on high-value strategic initiatives.

Tata Steel’s agentic deployments are underpinned and supported by a scalable infrastructure built on Google Cloud Run. This enables the system to handle demand spikes instantly while scaling to zero when idle. With access to over 200 models on Google Cloud’s AI Agent Platform, Tata Steel ensures the optimal AI model is matched to every task, while also maintaining strict lifecycle management and governance.

AI-driven safety and operational excellence on the shop floor

Beyond administrative tasks, this agentic ecosystem is driving immediate impact across the manufacturing floor, where safety remains the highest priority. By integrating AI directly into industrial workflows, the Company has shifted from traditional monitoring to proactive, real-time intervention.

Central to this is Safety EyeQ, a specialised agent that analyses live video feeds in high-risk zones to ensure strict adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). By identifying hazards – such as moving large equipment in proximity to hot material or any SOP deviation – the agent provides complete situational intelligence & triggers real-time alerts for immediate corrective action. This intelligence extends across the value chain through Asset Sphere agents, which evaluate equipment health to provide proactive maintenance plans, preventing unplanned downtime.

This multimodal approach leverages Google’s Large Language and Vision–Language Models such as Gemini and Palli Gemma. The same engine is also enhancing customer service, where specialised agents now automatically analyse complaint artifacts to detect complaint intent and defects from images and route issues to resolver groups, successfully reducing average turnaround time by 50%.

India’s Coal Backbone Holds Firm Amid Global Gas Disruptions

India’s energy ecosystem is witnessing early signs of stress amid ongoing geopolitical disruptions in West Asia, even as the government maintains that the country remains well-prepared to manage the situation. The ongoing conflict in the region has significantly impacted global supply chains, particularly energy flows through critical routes such as the Strait of Hormuz, which carries a large share of India’s crude oil, gas, and fertiliser imports. Addressing the Parliament on March 23, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi described the situation as “concerning” and acknowledged its adverse impact on the global economy and daily life, while assuring that India is taking proactive steps to safeguard energy security.

Industrial clusters across India are already experiencing localized stress, with shortages and disruptions in CNG and LPG supply pushing businesses to explore alternative fuels, including coal. India imports nearly 45–50% of its natural gas requirement as LNG, making industrial gas consumers highly sensitive to global supply disruptions and shipping route uncertainties. This shift is further reinforced by constrained LNG supplies and rising global uncertainties. At the same time, the government has highlighted that India has significantly strengthened its energy resilience over the past decade through diversification of import sources, expansion of strategic reserves, and improved supply chain preparedness.

Gas-based power capacity in India remains underutilised at below 25% PLF, as coal and renewables continue to dominate the generation mix. While the power sector remains relatively insulated, owing to its strong reliance on coal and renewables, the industrial sector continues to feel the pressure of gas shortages. In this context, coal has emerged as a critical fallback option, reinforcing its role as the backbone of India’s energy security.

India’s overall coal demand has been rising steadily, with annual consumption crossing 1.25 billion tonnes, driven primarily by the power sector, cement, sponge iron, and captive industrial users. Early signals from coal markets indicate tightening demand–supply dynamics. Coal India’s e-auction premiums have risen to around 35% over notified prices in February 2026, reflecting increased urgency among buyers to secure supply. This marks a shift from softer demand trends earlier in the fiscal year. The demand uptick is being driven by multiple factors, including substitution from gas amid LNG disruptions, seasonal ramp-up in power demand, and reduced imports leading to greater reliance on domestic coal. However, coal’s substitution potential remains largely limited to the power sector in the short-to-medium term. Structural and technological constraints continue to restrict its widespread adoption in industrial applications such as fertilisers and chemicals.

Commenting on the evolving scenario, Mr. Vinaya Varma, MD & CEO, mjunction services limited stated, “What we are witnessing is an early but clear behavioural shift in fuel consumption patterns. As LNG availability tightens and CNG/LPG supplies face disruption in several industrial clusters, buyers are increasingly turning to coal to secure operational continuity. The rise in e-auction premiums and improved offtake reflects this urgency. Coal will continue to play a critical role in ensuring India’s energy security, especially in times of global uncertainty. While we are witnessing localized tightening in demand and firming of prices, the overall market remains balanced due to strong domestic availability and adequate stock levels.”

Importantly, the situation remains measured rather than overheated. Only about 47% of auction volumes have been sold so far this year, and current premiums remain below historical peaks, indicating controlled but firming demand. Current coal stock levels at power plants remain comfortable at 18–20 days of consumption, preventing panic buying despite tightening spot demand signals in auction markets. Overall, while India is not facing an immediate energy crisis, evolving global disruptions are beginning to test the system.

Tata Steel Becomes India’s 1st Steel Co. to Develop Steel Pipes for Hydrogen Transportation

• Company successfully developed hydrogen-compliant API X65 grade steel pipes, contributing to the National Green Hydrogen Mission of India

Tata Steel becomes India’s first steel company to demonstrate end-to-end capabilities to develop pipes for the transportation of hydrogen, marking a significant milestone towards achieving the country’s National Hydrogen Mission.

The API X65 ERW pipes processed at Tata Steel’s Khopoli plant, using the steel manufactured at the Company’s Kalinganagar plant, successfully achieved all the critical properties required for hydrogen transportation. The hydrogen qualification tests were carried out at RINA-CSM S.p.A, Italy, a leading approving agency for hydrogen-related testing and characterisation. The new hydrogen-compliant API X65 grade pipes can be used for the transportation of 100% pure gaseous hydrogen under high pressure (100 bar).

Prabhat Kumar, Vice President - Marketing & Sales (Flat Products), Tata Steel, said: “Tata Steel has always been at the forefront of developing technologies for manufacturing critical steel grades. The successful testing of the new ERW pipes demonstrates our capabilities to deliver critical physical infrastructure for the energy sector, domestically. We are proud to contribute to India’s National Hydrogen Mission, which by itself is a key component of the country’s ongoing clean energy transition. Tata Steel is proud to be the first Indian steel company to successfully take on this challenge and deliver products to cater to the emerging domestic and global demand for these special grade steel pipes.”

Tata Steel's Research and Development team has been extensively engaged in developing innovative and sustainable solutions for hydrogen transportation and storage. In this case, the complete technology development, from the design and development of the hot rolled steel to the pipe manufacturing, was done entirely in-house. In 2024, Tata Steel also became the first Indian steel company to produce hot-rolled steel for the transportation of gaseous hydrogen.

National Hydrogen Mission will enable India to build capabilities to produce at least 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) of Green Hydrogen per annum by 2030, with the potential to reach 10 MMT per annum with additional demand for exports which would require substantial investments in generation and transportation. The demand for steel compliant with hydrogen transportation is expected to start from 2026-27, with the total steel requirement of 350KT spanning over the next 5 to 7 years. While various mechanisms of hydrogen transportation are available, steel pipelines are considered economically more viable for mass transportation.

Tata Steel UK and JCB Sign An MoU for the Supply of Low CO2 (‘Green’) Steel

Under the agreement, Tata Steel will supply the British construction equipment manufacturer with green steel from Port Talbot after completing its transformation plans. JCB, which maintains a close focus on carbon reduction in its manufacturing and equipment, will integrate the steel into its machinery range.

This is the first supply agreement Tata Steel UK has made since announcing the £1.25 billion joint investment with the UK Government to transition to high-quality, low-CO2 steel production in South Wales.

We are fully supportive of Tata Steel UK’s investment proposals and are pleased to be one of the first customers to endorse those plans by making this agreement to secure British-made green steel as soon as it is available.”

JCB has led the way in decarbonisation in its industry, starting with its Road to Zero programme in 2010. It has achieved many industry milestones, such as developing the first-ever electric mini-digger in 2018, creating the first hydrogen-powered machine in 2021 and continuously expanding its range of fully electric-powered equipment. It is currently putting the world's first construction machines powered by hydrogen combustion engines through rigorous testing.

Tata Steel signed a contract in October 2024 with Tenova to deliver a state-of-the-art electric arc furnace and additional advanced steelmaking equipment for its Port Talbot site. The transformation of the site is expected to start in summer 2025.

Tata Steel intends to make Port Talbot one of Europe’s premier centres for green steelmaking. The £1.25 billion investment, which includes a UK Government grant of up to £500 million, is the largest capital expenditure investment in UK steel production for decades. Seventy-five per cent of the raw materials required will be sourced from the UK, up from 10% today, helping to maintain the country’s self-sufficiency in steel and making steel production more resilient to global events.

Tata Steel, Welspun Corp Become 1st Indian Co.s to Produce ERW Pipes for Pure Hydrogen Gas Transportation

Tata Steel and Welspun Corp have achieved a significant milestone by developing Hydrogen-compliant API X65 grade pipes. These pipes successfully surpassed critical sour service and fracture qualification tests for transporting 100% pure gaseous hydrogen under high pressure (100 bar) at RINA, Italy.

Tata Steel becomes the first Indian steel mill to produce hot-rolled steel for hydrogen transportation, while Welspun Corp is the first Indian pipe mill to produce Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) pipes for this purpose. This achievement aligns with India's green hydrogen policy and encourages the transition to a greener, more sustainable future.

ERW pipes are made by forming a flat strip of steel into a cylindrical shape and welding the edges together using electric resistance. The process involves passing an electric current through the edges, which generates heat and fuses them. This results in a seamless joint.

It was in 2022 when Tata Steel and Welspun Corp entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop hydrogen-compliant API grade pipes through the ERW Pipe route. Tata Steel supplied hot-rolled coils for the project from its Kalinganagar plant in Odisha, while Welspun Corp manufactured ERW pipes. This strategic partnership aims to promote the usage of green hydrogen and contribute to a net-zero economy by 2070.

Last year in June, Tata Steel partnered with SMS group to implement the pioneering Paul Wurth Coke Oven Gas (COG) Injection Technology at their Blast Furnace in Meramandali, Odisha.

Last year Tata Steel initiated a trial, the first-of-its-kind globally, at its Jamshedpur Works, injecting a record-high quantity of hydrogen gas directly into one of its Blast Furnaces. Other initiatives include trials of continuous Coal Bed Methane (CBM) injection, operation of a 5-tonnes-per-day (TPD) industrial plant for carbon capture and utilisation since September 2021, increasing scrap charge in our blast furnaces and efforts to reduce freshwater consumption, develop sustainable supply chains and embrace circular economy principles.
