The Tinplate Company of India (TCIL), an associate enterprise of Tata Steel, pioneered the manufacture of tinplate in India. TCIL is today the country's largest producer of tinplate, with a market share of over 35 per cent. TCIL has achieved its leadership position by continuously reengineering its practices. The company recently entered into a technical agreement with Nippon Steel of Japan and its future focus is on developing cost-effective and innovative packaging solutions that offer convenience features to food processors and packers as well as end customers. TCIL is the industry leader in India, with capabilities to supply all tinning line products. The company's main products are electrolytic tinplate / tin-free steel and cold-rolled products. It manufactures electrolytic tinplates / tin-free steel - from hot-rolled coils supplied by Tata Steel - for can fabrication to pack edible oils, processed foods, dairy products, beverages, pesticides, and paints, and for manufacturing battery components. TCIL has domestic and foreign customer groups. The company's tinning line products contribute about 90 per cent to its turnover, 75 per cent of which is generated from the domestic market. The balance accrues from exports to West Asia, South East Asia and countries neighbouring India.
