Kamal Rajput has been with Tata Steel for 18 years having had various commercial roles in Sales and Business Development and has been involved in major energy and construction projects across Europe. A key element of his role now is to assess the commercial viability of growth sectors, with a particular focus on clean energy and renewables, to understand how the steel demand will change over the coming years, and what assets, products and services will be needed to support these emerging sectors.

Kamal is passionate about driving change in the renewables sector to support UK manufacturing, and focus efforts for building local supply chains. Kamal is also chair of the UK Steel procurement committee which consists of the largest steel companies in the UK acting as a collective voice on procurement policy and other matters to UK, Welsh and Scottish Governments.
