History

[edit]

The company was founded on 7 January 1983 under the name Jawahar Metal Industries Private Limited in the Sahibabad Industrial Area of Ghaziabad district, Uttar Pradesh. The company manufactured cold rolled steel strips and steel ingots. On 14 January 1987, Jawahar Metal Industries was acquired by Brij Bhushan Singal and his sons, Sanjay and Neeraj Singal. Jawahar Metal Industries was renamed as Bhushan Steel & Strips Limited on 9 June 1992. The name was changed to Bhushan Steel Limited in 2007.[3][4]

Insolvency proceedings were initiated against the company on 26 July 2017 under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.[5][6]

Tata Steel acquired a 72.65% stake in Bhushan Steel on 18 May 2018 through its subsidiary Bamnipal Steel. Tata Steel paid ₹35,200 crore (equivalent to ₹470 billion or US$5.5 billion in 2023) to Bhushan Steel's creditor banks, and an additional ₹1,200 crore (equivalent to ₹16 billion or US$190 million in 2023) over 12 months to Bhushan Steel's operational creditors.[7] The company was renamed as Tata Steel BSL Limited on 27 November 2018.[8]
