Tata Steel’s CEO, T V Narendran, has stated that around 2,500 job losses are inevitable as the company transitions its UK operations towards a low-emission electric arc furnace (EAF) process. The shift aims to make production more cost-effective and environmentally friendly, reducing CO2 emissions by 5 million tonnes annually. Despite UK government aid and joint investment plans, unions have criticized the move, leading to ongoing protests. Narendran emphasizes the necessity of the transition for the company’s competitiveness and sustainability.
