Dear Sir, Madam,
Sub: Disclosure under Regulation 30 of Securities and Exchange Board of India
(Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015
This has reference to the aforementioned subject.
In FY2023, Tata Steel Limited ('Company') through its erstwhile listed
subsidiary - Tata Steel Long Products Limited ('TSLP') acquired controlling
stake in Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited ('NINL'). In FY2024, consequent to the
amalgamation of TSLP into and with the Company, NINL became an indirect
subsidiary of the Company. In FY2026, NINL became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company.
On February 25, 2026, NINL received a Show Cause Notice ('SCN') from the
Office of the Deputy Director of Mines, Koira Circle, Koira Steel & Mines
Department, Government of Odisha ('Authority') seeking NINL to show cause as
to why an amount of ₹587,86,25,047/- should not be recovered from NINL as
shortfall towards additional charges on dispatch of Iron Ore between the
period February 2022 and March 2025, calculated at 150% of royalty payable
under Section 8A(8) of Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation)
Amendment Act, 2021 ('MMDR Act').
NINL believes that its Iron Ore Mine does not fall under the purview of
Section 8A(8) of MMDR Act as alleged in the said SCN, and hence the SCN is
erroneous. Accordingly, NINL believes that it may not be liable to pay the
amount as stated in the SCN. NINL will suitably respond to the SCN and if
needed, pursue legal remedies, as appropriate, before court of law.
The Management was studying the impact of SCN on the Company and NINL and
hence, the disclosure is being made even date.
The details of the SCN, as required under the provisions of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
