Tata Steel also mentioned its ongoing investments in sustainability and maintenance initiatives. They are exploring more projects that use HIsarna and EASyMelt technology.
Many of these projects have been publicly discussed in presentations at investor and analyst meetings and in the company’s integrated reports and annual accounts. Further details regarding the same will be made, as applicable, at an appropriate time, in terms of Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (‘SEBI Listing Regulations’).
