Dear Sir, Madam,

 

Sub: Disclosure under Regulation 30 of Securities and Exchange Board of India
(Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015

 

This is further to our disclosure dated January 30, 2026 in connection with
the reporting of material tax litigation in the corporate governance report of
Tata Steel Limited ('Company') for quarter ended December 31, 2025.

 

Background:

 

The Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax, Circle 2(3)(1), Mumbai vide his order
dated February 7, 2014 pertaining to FY2008 had disallowed the claim of the
Company for an amount of ₹518.76 crore towards deduction for interest
expenditure under Section 36(1)(iii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in respect
of loans borrowed and utilized by the Company for acquisition of Corus Group
Plc, foreign subsidiary of the Company. Similar disallowance had been made in
subsequent years as well from FY2009 to FY2015. The aggregate tax exposure
arising from this issue for the entire period from FY2008 to FY2015 is
~₹1,901 crore.

 

For the period FY2008, the Company had filed an appeal against the
aforementioned order before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ('Authority') on
May 10, 2016.

 

Present Status:

 

The final hearing in the matter took place before the Authority in the month
of November 2025. On February 27, 2026, the Company received a favourable
order dated February 20, 2026 from the Authority ('Order') wherein the claim
of deduction for interest expenditure was allowed.

 

Accordingly, the tax exposure against the Company will get reduced from
~₹1,901 crore to ~₹1,686 crore. Further, the Assessing Officer will give
effect to this Order of the Authority through a separate order. Subsequently,
the Company will make necessary adjustments in its contingent liability
disclosure forming part of the financial statements for FY2027.

 

The Company believes that this Order will have persuasive impact on co-related
pending litigations on the same issue for the period FY2009 to FY2015 as
mentioned above.

 

This disclosure is being made by the Company in compliance with Regulations 30
and 51 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.
