Peeyush Gupta, Vice President – TQM, Group Strategic Procurement & Supply Chain, Tata Steel, said: “We are proud to receive CII’s GreenPro Certification for Tata Agrico, a testament to our commitment to deliver high-quality agricultural tools that support sustainable farming practices and reduce carbon footprint. In a predominantly agrarian economy like India, such initiatives go a long way in promoting a culture of making responsible environmental choices and support the nation’s journey towards sustainable agriculture.”
