The announcement was made at a press conference in Kolkata, organised as part of the TUFCON XT initiative, which brought together members of the media and key stakeholders to mark the company’s 9-year journey and outline its vision for the future.
Addressing the media at the press conference were Sri Mohan Prasad Saw, Chairman & Managing Director, Sri Langta Baba Steels Pvt. Ltd.; Mr. Sauraj Guptaa, Director; Mr. Abhishekk Kumaar, Director; and Mr. Indranil Dutta, Corporate Head.

The leadership also highlighted the potential employment generation, development of ancillary industries and broader economic impact expected from the upcoming projects.
The Chakai project in Bihar has been formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Bihar, involving a proposed investment of approximately ₹5,500 crore. Along with the planned Greenfield project in Nagpur, the developments are expected to significantly enhance TUFCON’s manufacturing capacity and operational capabilities. The projects are expected to commence implementation shortly and will form a key part of the company’s long-term strategy to establish a stronger, more integrated and future-ready steel manufacturing ecosystem.
Tiger Shroff has been associated with TUFCON as the brand ambassador since the inception of the brand, playing an important role in strengthening its identity and connecting the brand with consumers across markets.
Speaking on the occasion, Sri Mohan Prasad Saw, Chairman & Managing Director, Sri Langta Baba Steels Pvt. Ltd., said, “TUFCON has reached an important milestone in its journey, and our proposed investments in Bihar and Nagpur mark the beginning of a significant new chapter. The proposed ₹5,500-crore investment in Bihar reflects our confidence in the growth potential of the Indian steel, infrastructure and industrial sectors. Our objective is not merely to increase capacity, but to create an integrated and future-ready manufacturing ecosystem that will enable us to serve our customers more efficiently and create sustainable value for all our stakeholders.”
He further said, “As we move into the next phase of our growth, our focus will remain firmly on quality, technology, operational excellence and strong partnerships. We want TUFCON to emerge as a stronger national brand with a robust manufacturing foundation and a wider market presence. We are equally committed to creating employment opportunities, supporting ancillary industries and contributing to the economic development of the regions where we operate.”
The proposed Greenfield projects are expected to strengthen TUFCON’s ability to respond to the growing requirements of India’s construction, infrastructure and industrial sectors. The expanded manufacturing footprint will support greater production capacity, improved operational efficiencies and a wider product portfolio, while enabling the company to strengthen its presence across key markets in the country. The company is also looking at new product offerings, manufacturing advancements and market-entry strategies as part of its broader growth plan.
The expansion is expected to have a significant employment and economic impact in the project regions. The upcoming developments are likely to create opportunities for local communities as well as experienced professionals, while also encouraging the growth of ancillary industries, logistics, services and other supporting businesses. TUFCON expects the projects to contribute to increased industrial activity and generate a wider economic ecosystem around the manufacturing facilities.
The TUFCON XT event also highlighted “Sankalp 2026”, representing the company’s journey of determination, commitment and collective achievement. For TUFCON, Sankalp 2026 reflects its resolve to continuously improve its products and processes, strengthen its market presence and build deeper relationships with customers and business partners. The company believes that its growth has been driven by quality, consistency, customer trust and the continued support of its dealer and distributor network.
As part of the TUFCON XT celebration, the company also organised a special Dealers & Distributors Achievers’ Programme to recognise and felicitate outstanding channel partners for their contribution, commitment and performance. TUFCON acknowledged that its dealers and distributors have played an important role in expanding the brand’s reach and strengthening its relationships with customers across different markets. The recognition programme celebrated not only business achievements but also the long-standing partnerships and trust that have been integral to TUFCON’s growth.
TUFCON’s expansion comes at a time when India’s infrastructure and industrial sectors are witnessing significant development, creating growing demand for quality and reliable steel products. The company aims to leverage this opportunity by expanding its manufacturing capabilities, strengthening its market network and investing in modern technologies and efficient manufacturing practices.
With the proposed Greenfield projects in Bihar and Nagpur, the company is now looking to transition into a more integrated and scalable phase of operations. The roadmap is focused on strengthening manufacturing capabilities, expanding across key Indian markets, maintaining high standards of product quality, building stronger channel partnerships and creating greater value for customers, employees and business associates.
The company believes that the next phase of the Indian steel industry will be driven by technology, efficiency, innovation, scale and responsible growth. With its proposed investments, expanding manufacturing footprint and strong network of channel partners, TUFCON aims to build on its 9-year foundation of trust and quality and establish itself as a stronger, more integrated and future-ready steel enterprise.
With strength as its foundation and ambition as its driving force, TUFCON is set to enter its next chapter of growth, expansion and excellence.
