More
than a family
At the very outset, it was intended that a family of enterprises
be formed. The Steel Company would provide the basic materials
of the industry and the others would process the steel into
more advanced products. After the great slump of 1930 many
companies that survived the storm constituted a conglomerate
of Tata enterprises such as Tata Agrico, Tata-Robins-Fraser,
The Tinplate Company of India Ltd., Tata-Yodogawa, Tata Refractories
Ltd. etc. Each of these companies formed in collaboration
with foreign giants made significant contributions in the
development of Industrial India. |
