Tata Steelium, a prominent brand in the cold rolled segment from the stable of Tata Steel, has been conferred the 'CII Award for Customer Centricity' award for the year 2019. Tata Steel is the only Indian steel company to bag this prestigious award till date.

Mr Chanakya Chaudhary, Vice President, Corporate Services, Tata Steel, along with other company officials, received the award at a function held in New Delhi on December 11, 2019. The award was presented by Shri B. N. Satpathy, former Senior Advisor of NITI Aayog and Senior Consultant in the Office of Principal Scientific Advisor, Cabinet Secretariat, Government of India.

The CII Award for Customer Centricity award aims to recognise customer centric organisations where customer is at the center of all that they do. The CII Award for Customer Obsession was instituted by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Microsoft India in 2016 for promoting customer obsession culture in the Indian industry.

The product brand 'Tata Steelium' was launched in 2003, at a time when the market for cold rolled steel was fragmented and served by a host of undifferentiated products. The objective was to provide customers with a delightful experience of purchase and consumption of cold rolled steel, through assured availability, consistent quality, absolute professionalism, customisation and with dedicated distribution and service channels.

Today, Tata Steelium is a dominant player in the cold rolled segment, serving a wide spectrum of customers which include the auto ancillaries sector, the panel industry for electrical and telecom applications, the furniture industry and the packaging industry.
