Tata Steel bags Prime Minister's Trophy for Best Performing Integrated Steel Plant

This makes it the third consecutive year for Tata Steel being honored with this coveted award.

Since the inception of this award in 1992-93, Tata Steel has been recognized as the best integrated steel plant 12 times, having won the PM’s Trophy ten times and received the Certificate for Excellence twice.
