Ash Clean Coal ( Lakh t ) Yield Loss 2% Yield Loss 3.5% Clean Coal Production at West Bokaro FY-88

1 t of ash needs –1 t of coke –1 t of DRI –0.9 t of flux –$ 350 per t of ash Clean Coal : Low ash advantage *Exchange Rate: Rs 45/USD

COST RESEARCH & STANDARD COSTING Higher usage of own coal (64%) planned in FY’06 (P) against FY’05 (54%) to reduce the coal bill Coke plant : Change in coal blend ( FY06) *Exchange Rate: Rs 45/USD

Global leader & World class Maintain low cost advantage Tata Steel Future Plan

NatSteel integration 1 mtpa + 2 mtpa expansion at Jamshedpur 6 mtpa green field project in Kalinganagar, Orissa 12 mt greenfiled project in Jharkhand 5 mtpa green field project in Chhattisgarh Iran : Iron ore, pellets & steel Green field project in Bangladesh Port infrastructure in Dhamra, Orissa Coke Project in Haldia Ferro Chrome project in South Africa Titania project in Tamil Nadu Medium term growth plans

Strong base in India De-integrated dispersal of facilities in select geographies –Primary steel making in countries rich in Iron ore and / or coal / gas (low cost regions) –Finishing facilities in growing markets Ownership and development of raw material sources Access to captive ports and other dedicated logistics facilities Size of mtpa by 2015 ‘More from Steel’ via branding and presence in high entry barrier segments Tata Steel future strategy
