5.   Update on Tata Steel Netherlands

 

Tata Steel Netherlands ('TSN') is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company. TSN continues to be deeply engaged with the local regulatory bodies on addressing the issues related to the IJmuiden operating site. Based on the local Environment Agency's measurements of exceedances of emissions of substances versus certain prescribed limits, TSN has received multiple notices alleging non-compliance and has paid more than €20 million of penalties in FY2026 in relation to the coke and gas plants. These actions initiated by regulatory authority(ies) against TSN was not in relation to Tata Steel Limited. Many of these penalties relate to exceedances where no technically and operationally feasible best practices are currently available globally to address the issue in a time frame acceptable to the Environment Agency given the design and vintage of these coke ovens (40 - 50 years old). The Environment Agency and the local Province have also on April 23, 2026 issued a letter to Tata Steel Netherlands indicating their intention to revoke operating permits and trigger an early closure of the coke and gas plants. Tata Steel Netherlands has made a detailed assessment and shared with the Agency and the Province a timeline which is necessary to ensure a safe, responsible and controlled closure process. Tata Steel Netherlands is also exploring all options including legal recourse to ensure that the closure process is managed with due care and prudence. However, pending assurance on a feasible timeline, the financial statements of Tata Steel Netherlands have been prepared taking into account a material uncertainty to going concern in discussion with its auditors. Tata Steel Netherlands is also engaged with the regulators on evolving standards relating to classification and disposal of steel slag, where local requirements in Netherlands now not only exceed EU standards but are threatening to become infeasible.

 

The Board meeting commenced at 2.00 p.m. (IST) and concluded at 5:15 p.m. (IST).
