Tata, Britain’s biggest steel producer, last month began the process of closing down one of its carbon-intensive blast furnaces, with the shutdown of its other furnace slated for September.
The two furnaces shutting down will likely result in the loss of up to 2,800 jobs at Port Talbot in South Wales.
Britain’s business minister Jonathan Reynolds said in July that the new government was prioritising avoiding job losses in talks with Tata Steel over government backing for a transition to lower-carbon technologies.
“The compulsory redundancies, which is the point where the unions, the government and us need to see – how do we address that,” Narendran said, adding they would also look at re-skilling.
The company is also evaluating the need to seek more funding from the government to build more steelmaking facilities, Narendran added. The new government in Britain will need to sign the 500-million-pound ($635 million) support package that the previous government agreed on with Tata Steel to help build a lower-carbon electric arc furnace.
