A new dimension in steel tube technology opened up in India in the early 50s - with the establishment of the Indian Tube Company Limited (ITC), on the 17th of December 1954. It was the outcome of a joint venture between Tata Steel and Stewart and Lloyds of UK.



In 1985, the Indian Tube Company merged with Tata Steel to form the Tata Steel - Tubes Division. The Tubes Strategic Business Unit (SBU), today, is a leading manufacturer of welded pipes and tubes in the country with an annual production capacity of around 400,000 tonnes, with expansion plans on the anvil.
