Corus' new technology of steel processing might be applied to Tata Steel Group to reduce the steel making cost in the next few years. It is estimated that Tata Steel may save cost up to US$400 million per year in the future after application..

This new technology adapts mainly iron ore fines to replace the traditional lumps and coking coal, which are more expensive. Tata plans to take Corus' new technology for another cheaper approach in India.

The consolidation with Corus has already brought some advantages to Tata Steel, according to Tata’s officials and this further technology development is expected to strengthen the group's competitiveness if the quality stays good and stable.
