Tata Steel UISL unveil two more biogas plants in Jamshedpur

In a significant step toward promoting decentralized waste management and clean energy, Tata Steel UISL today inaugurated two new biogas plants at the Naval Tata Hockey Academy and Bari Maidan in Jamshedpur.

The facilities were formally inaugurated by Chanakya Chaudhary, Vice President, Corporate Services, Tata Steel, in the presence of Ritu Raj Sinha, Managing Director, Tata Steel UISL. With the addition of these two biogas projects, the total number of biogas units established across Jamshedpur has now reached 25, spanning locations such as hotels and institutions.

 These plants convert organic waste into clean, renewable energy—helping to reduce landfill waste, cut carbon emissions, and support sustainable urban infrastructure.

Tata Steel UISL is also looking to expand the capacity of its existing biogas units by incorporating food waste from local households. This move is expected to significantly boost the scale and impact of the company’s waste-to-energy program.

The initiative is a part of Tata Steel’s broader sustainability strategy, underlining its commitment to renewable energy adoption and environmentally responsible urban development.

The event was also attended by key dignitaries including Varun Bajaj, Chief, Town Infrastructure, Tata Steel; Sanjeev Chaudhary, President, Tata Workers Union; Satish Kumar Singh, General Secretary, Tata Workers Union; and Rabindra Kumar Singh, General Manager, Town O&M, along with other senior officials from Tata Steel and Tata Steel UISL.

The Tata Group, like many business houses in the country, is striving to revolutionise the bioenergy sector of the country. Last year, Tata Steel Managing Director Ritu Raj Sinha announced the company’s visionary plan to revolutionize waste management in Jamshedpur by converting the city’s food waste into biogas within the next two years.

Tata Steel aims to process 40% of Jamshedpur’s daily 260-tonne waste—specifically food waste—into biogas by March 2026.
