Business Segments

Designed for Delivering Excellence Every day

TML specialises in offering two main products: Pig Iron (PI) and Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP). Our Blast Furnaces use iron ore, sinter, coke and fluxes to produce Hot Metal. This Hot Metal is partly converted into DIP for applications in water infrastructure and other sectors, while the remaining is cast into Pig Iron (PI) for use in the casting industry.

Pig Iron (PI)

Pig Iron (PI) is an intermediate product of a commodity nature, used in foundries for the production of iron castings. Although PI customers’ purchase decisions are largely price-centric, we have, over the years, decommoditised the same by providing significantly higher value as compared to our peers. We have been consistently recognised by our customers for our high-quality products having an ideal shape and size that reduces energy consumption in foundries.

We convert the tacit needs of our customers into value propositions viz.
(a) consistency in product chemistry; (b) customised services to help customers improve their production cost and efficiency. ‘Tata eFee’, Our Pig Iron brand, has 14 primary grades and a few customised options as raw materials for different types of casting applications.

  • Farmers in India have long relied on manual labour to help with across several countries various activities on the farm. Our innovative pig iron technology is changing by making farming tools such as ploughs, tractors, harvesters and irrigation pumps
  • Our PI has a higher packing density leading to a higher melting point. It helps foundries save energy and in turn, contributes to the environment
  • We are casting the future of the engineering and automotive industry with our customised and reliable Pig Iron

Ductile Iron Pipe

Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) is an end product in the value chain, used for the transmission of potable water, wastewater and water for irrigation purposes. Durability, energy savings while in service, recyclability and high expected lifespan make DIP environmentally far superior product over other piping materials.

We have strategically shifted our focus to the DIP business due to the Government’s increased focus on water supply through several schemes like Jal Jeevan Mission and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) among others.

Our value proposition remains timely delivery and consistency in quality viz. coating thickness, physical appearance, ultimate tensile strength and elongation, which are significant for long product life. Being manufactured under strict quality control, ‘Tata Ductura’ is a preferred choice for customers engaged in water infrastructure projects.

We manufacture 5.5 m standard length pipes of 80-1200 mm diameter belonging to K class and C class with BIS, ISO, BSEN and WRAS certifications. From consultation services to providing engineering solutions, we offer Value Management to our Customers across the World, helping them transform possibilities into business.

  • Our DI Pipes are not prone to permeation, hence preventing the leaching of toxins and providing better protection from contamination. With long-term reliability against harmful chemicals, it is the preferred choice of customers
  • Around 80-90% of our product can be recycled after its useful life making it an environment-friendly option for water and sewage systems
  • Our DI Pipes are strong enough to withstand the most severe conditions, from high-pressure applications to heavy earth and traffic loads to unstable soil conditions making this a preferred choice for water projects

Brand Promise

India’s preferred brand for use in water, sanitation and irrigation industries due to its superior internal lining, easy fitment and strict control over dimensions

‘Duct’ Ductile Iron

‘Ura’ Ventura, which means happiness and contentment

World of Opportunities

  • The next five years are expected to see heavy Government investment in areas of rural and urban development and irrigation. Around 7-8% of the total investment is expected to be dedicated to consulting and knowledge-based services
  • With more than 80% of the available workforce currently unskilled, there is a significant opportunity to invest in skill development services
  • The current market is highly fragmented, with few organised players and low-quality standards prevailing
  • Opportunity exists to shape and lead a fragmented market that is in its nascent stage, offering a potential for first-mover advantage

Value-added Solutions

We are emerging as a one-stop solution by offering a bouquet of services aimed at the water industry.

Detailed Project Report (DPR)

We provide services for timely preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) by the best Engineers across the country with state-of-the-art technology. Our services are differentiated with value-added offerings, multiple options for technology and for better reliability, and sensitivity analysis for better decision-making.

Skill Development Institute

Skilled workforce is a critical resource for any project and is an opportinuty to create Value. Accordingly, we have introduced a pioneering service to develop skilled human resources for water Infrastructure projects. We organise specific trainings for youth who become competent to be part of customers’ workforce in the implementation of their water infrastructure projects.

Non-revenue Water Management

Water is a scarce resource, critical to the existence of humanity. In India typically the water loss is to the tune of 40-50% of the total water consumption. While the developed world has started taking steps in terms of arresting water loss, the interventions in India are still at a nascent stage. Our Non-Revenue Water (NRW) Management service is a step to help India arrest significant water loss. Our experts, through
in-depth analysis and use of acoustics-based technologies, help users to contribute to the water conservation programme and achieve significant cost savings.

Design Engineering

The design of water system and network has a pivotal role to minimise the cost of the project and have hassle-free operation and maintenance. The choice of technology, pressure zoning for optimum flow, reliability, and maintainability of equipment, play a significant role in achieving the project objective. We provide design services where the best Engineering experts, with extensive experience, design projects using the latest hydraulic and Did you analytics software.
