Tata Steel to Enable Women Staff across All Three Shifts
Tata Steel announced that it would deploy female employees across all three shifts at the company’s Jamshedpur plant.
According to the company, an estimated 543 female employees across 21 departments will work in three shifts by February 1, 2026, and the deployment will be made in a phased manner.
“The significant expansion of its ground-breaking initiative, ‘Udaan: Wings of Change,’ witnessed deployment of women across all three shifts on Tuesday,” according to the company.
This strategic move underscores Tata Steel's commitment to fostering greater gender diversity, equity, and inclusion within its workforce, aligning with its broader DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) objectives.
“This expansion follows recent regulatory approvals from the government and reflects Tata Steel’s proactive approach to creating an inclusive work environment,” according to the company.
"The 'Udaan: Wings of Change' initiative is a testament to Tata Steel's deep-rooted commitment to empowering women and fostering a truly inclusive workplace," Chief People Officer Atrayee Sanyal says.

Tata Steel on Thursday also released its crude steel production report, which rose in India by 7 per cent to 5.67 million tonnes in the second quarter of the current fiscal. This growth is primarily driven by normalisation of operations post the completion of relining of a blast furnace at Jamshedpur, in Jharkhand.
