Tata Steel, SCCI to work jointly for Jamshedpur’s development: Sundara Ramam

 Jamshedpur, July 10: In a significant development marking the Platinum Jubilee of the Singhbhum Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), a new car parking space was inaugurated near the Chamber Bhawan in Bistupur on Thursday. The facility, developed with the support of Tata Steel, aims to address the long-standing parking woes of the Chamber and is seen as a symbol of the growing cooperation between Tata Steel and the business community of Jamshedpur.

Tata Steel’s Vice President (Corporate Services) D.B. Sundara Ramam inaugurated the facility in presence of Chief Corporate Services Pranay Sinha, SCCI Vijay Anand Moonka, and Head of Tata Steel’s Land Department Amit Singh.

Speaking at the event, Sundara Ramam described the inauguration as a meaningful moment that signifies a deeper collaboration between Tata Steel and the Chamber for the overall development of Jamshedpur. “The Platinum Jubilee is a major milestone for any institution. The Chamber’s strength lies in its strong foundation and the dedicated leadership of its past and present members. Like Tata Steel, the Chamber shares the vision of inclusive growth and entrepreneurial development, and we are happy to walk this journey together,” he said.

He emphasized that the lack of parking has been a growing concern for Chamber members and visitors, and Tata Steel, keeping the needs of the local business ecosystem in mind, provided a suitable parking space in the heart of Bistupur. “This new facility will ease accessibility and support smoother functioning of Chamber events,” he added.

Vijay Anand Moonka, while expressing gratitude to Tata Steel, said, “Tata Steel Managing Director & Global CEO T.V. Narendran, Vice President (Corporate Services) D.B. Sundara Ramam, Chief Corporate Services Pranay Sinha, and Land Department Head Amit Singh have played a crucial role in making this parking facility a reality. We also acknowledge the early efforts of former VP Corporate Services Chanakya Chaudhary. The Chamber had raised the issue repeatedly, and after a thorough survey of the Bistupur area, this prime location was handed over to us. We are extremely thankful.”

Highlighting the significance of the occasion, Moonka added, “This inauguration becomes even more special as it coincides with the Chamber’s Platinum Jubilee year, inaugurated on May 25 by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. Tata Steel MD Narendran had also visited the Chamber and reiterated Jamshedpur’s strategic role in business development. Going forward, we aim to play an active role in boosting tourism in Kolhan and Jharkhand. A major Tourism Conclave will be held in Jamshedpur next month, with the Chamber playing a pivotal role.”
Vice President Puneet Kanwatia, who conducted the event, called it a historic day. “This initiative is a landmark moment in the Chamber’s journey and will be remembered for decades,” he said.
