What Tata Steel does

Tata Group's century-old steelmaker, with integrated operations in India and legacy operations in Europe (former Corus, UK/Netherlands).

Sells steel at market-linked prices, with India the profit centre, where it is integrated back to its own iron ore and coal mines, and Europe the weaker side. It bought Bhushan Steel through insolvency in 2018, and in 2024 shut the blast furnaces at Port Talbot in the UK to replace them with electric furnaces.

In one line: India's U.S. Steel with a European legacy arm.
