Tata Steel reaches agreement with UK trade unions

Livemint · 12m

Tata Steel has reached an agreement with trade unions in the UK, making way for a £1.25 billion electric arc furnace project at its Port Talbot plant. The project will replace two aged blast furnaces and may lead to 2,800 job losses, though it will also preserve around 5,000 jobs that would have been lost if the plant had been shut down. The UK government has promised £500 million in grants to support the transition. Tata Steel plans to begin construction on the project by August 2025.
