Tata Steel Faces Legal Scrutiny Amid Environmental Concerns and Government Negotiations
The environmental agency’s warning to Tata Steel coincides with a recent court reprimand regarding inadequate oversight of alleged violations. A ruling is expected in six weeks concerning the company’s raw coke emissions, which pose significant health risks. Meanwhile, discussions with the government over billions in support for ‘green steel’ production are ongoing, with labor union FNV expressing urgency to prevent potential layoffs of 9,000 workers due to the industry’s struggles against cheap Chinese steel and high energy costs.
