Tata Steel successfully deployed women employees across all three shifts in the outbound logistics department at its Kalinganagar Plant.

This feat supports the company’s efforts towards achieving gender equality in industrial operations.

Karamveer Singh, general manager operations at the plant, said: “The wider deployment of women in mines, logistics and across all shifts is a significant step towards improving workplace inclusivity, especially in the manufacturing sector.

“While technological developments have created a more level playing field for women in hitherto male-dominated roles, we are also seeing a significant shift in how women are embracing these roles and opportunities.

“We are encouraged by this achievement and will continue to push for greater women representation in similar job roles.”

In January 2025 Tata Steel Kalinganagar took on 39 apprentices, 26 of whom were women.
