Tata Steel executes first import shipment for coal using Electronic Bill of Lading
Jul-11-2025

Tata Steel has successfully executed its first import shipment for coal using an Electronic Bill of Lading (eB/L) - a digital version of the traditional paper document used in global shipping, with full bank integration. This milestone transaction involved coal imports from Queensland, Australia to Dhamra Port in Odisha, India. 

It is the company’s first paperless import transaction under a Letter of Credit, fully backed by digital processes. The successful transaction involved seamless coordination between Tata Steel India, ICICI Bank, TS Global Procurement, Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore), and the digital platform provider ICE Digital Trade’s eBL solution.

Tata Steel, the flagship company of the Tata group, is the first integrated steel plant in Asia and is now the world’s second most geographically diversified steel producer and a Fortune 500 company.
