Shaping a
cleaner tomorrow
Tata Steel is committed to responsible growth, pursuing a
decarbonisation roadmap to usher in a sustainable future. The
Company’s focus on greening the energy mix and implementing
nature-based solutions drives its efforts in reducing carbon
emissions. Through process improvements, Tata Steel optimises blast
furnace fuel rates, increases pulverised coal injection, implements
coke dry quenching and utilises waste heat.
Carbon direct avoidance strategies include increasing steel scrap
usage, bio-char and hydrogen injection in blast furnaces, and
incorporating green electricity with electric arc furnace (EAF). Tata
Steel has established a 5 TPD amine CO2 capture plant from blast
furnace gas, running 24/7 for over a year in the Jamshedpur works.
The captured CO2 (with 97% purity in wet basis) is used for reducing
the pH of wastewater, and for bottom tuyere injection in LD vessels
replacing nitrogen or argon. More such units are planned to be
installed in the future.
These initiatives underscore Tata Steel’s commitment
to a cleaner tomorrow. A B O U T TATA S T E E L

Towards a
greener horizon
Tata Steel is restructuring its UK business, aiming to reverse over
a decade of losses and transition to a sustainable, green steel
operation.
The plan is to retain most of Tata Steel UK’s product capabilities,
reduce direct CO2 emissions by 5 MT annually, and lower the UK's
total territorial emissions by about 1.5%.
Supported by the UK Government's £500 million commitment,
Tata Steel will invest £750 million in the electric arc furnace (EAF)
technology, using predominantly UK-arising scrap. This transition
aligns with successful global examples, boosting competitiveness,
securing production capabilities, and significantly cutting carbon
emissions.
Additionally, a comprehensive support package for affected
employees underscores Tata Steel's long-term commitment to the
UK steel industry.

With manufacturing operations in India, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Thailand, Tata Steel is one of the most
geographically diversified steel companies globally. The Company has raw material resources in India and Canada. It also
has a downstream presence in the United States, France, Germany, and other countries.
Tata Steel has created digital platforms to strengthen direct connections with customers and channel partners to provide
innovative services and solutions for all segments.
1. Tata Steel has developed Aashiyana, an online platform used to reach out to individual home builders, in India.
2. In FY2023-24, Tata Steel revised its digital solution for supply chain visibility, Compass. Expanding upon its primary
capability of giving business-to-business customers real-time material visibility on road and rail shipments, order
details can now be accessed with a single click on both web-based and mobile application platforms.
3. DigECA is a comprehensive B2B online platform tailored for the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) sector. It
is designed to streamline direct engagement with Tata Steel and its associated stakeholders. The platform enhances
customer satisfaction by introducing specialised modules that increase user convenience. Features integrated into
these modules provide customers with complete visibility of materials and assure order fulfilment from start to finish.
4. Sampoorna is Tata Steel’s unique end-to-end channel management app for its dealer partners, with modules like
lead management, sales and order management, interactive dashboards, and personal journey management. It has
strengthened the lead nurturing process and opened avenues to serve its consumers better.
5. CuBe is a production optimisation software developed in-house specifically for the channel partners of Tata Steel’s
long products downstream business. The software acts as a one-stop Production Management platform for managing
inventory, steel optimisation based on customer drawings, production planning and scheduling, tag generation for
easy material identification at the site, and deliveries.
6. The Company also employs an online platform known as MagicBox to sell “extra to order” steel products to current
Tata Steel distributors through online bidding.
7. Colorcoat® Compass tool at Tata Steel UK helps designers make an informed colour choice for their pre-finished steel
building envelope within minutes based on product choice, availability, feasibility, and level of guarantee. Almost
any object can be scanned, and the colour matched within seconds. The digital colour system provides detailed
information on each colour to show whether there is an exact match within the standard or a previously matched
bespoke colour selection.
8. The BaanClickBuild digital application from Tata Steel Thailand is used for scaling online retail sales in Thailand.
Other than its digital presence, Tata Steel exhibits in trade shows like Euroblech, Blechexpo, UK Metal Expo and
Metpack, which cater to the automotive and packaging industries, respectively. Tata Steel also hosts webinars and
steel courses to deliver the necessary information.
b. What is the contribution of exports as a percentage of the total turnover of the entity?
Though Tata Steel Group has a considerable export presence from India to the global market, it also directly serves
international clients through its subsidiary companies strategically positioned in various regions. Consequently, Tata
Steel provides a breakdown of its sales between domestic and international markets, ensuring transparency in its global
sales operations. Additionally, Tata Steel discloses exports conducted directly by Tata Steel Limited from India to the
global market.
Note: Sales Outside India includes export revenue from India. The above split is based on Tata Steel Consolidated turnover as reported in the Company’s Integrated
Report for FY2023-24 and excludes other operating revenue.

at Kalinganagar is ongoing and intends to produce 1.7 million tonnes of crude steel in FY2024-25. The contract workforce
engaged by the Company is instrumental in timely and cost-efficient project execution, as it provides flexibility and
supplements the skillset of the permanent workforce. By ensuring process efficiency and agile execution, the contract
workforce enables Tata Steel to remain resilient in a dynamic environment.
The Company values their role in its output and achieving its long-term goals. Thus, recognising their contribution to the
Company’s exceptional performance in FY2022-23, Tata Steel – as a pioneering step – gave the employees of its vendor
partners, working in the Company’s establishments in India, an ex gratia reward.
The Company acknowledges the importance of building a future-ready culture as a lever to achieve its Strategic Objectives.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are recognised as the pillars of the aspired organisational culture. To achieve the goal of
a 20% diverse workforce in Tata Steel Limited by 2025, the Company has identified four focus areas for intervention:
i) Women
The metals & mining sector, due to its structural bottlenecks, traditionally had a low female participation in its
workforce. Despite best intentions and concerted efforts, progress has been slow due to deeply entrenched
stereotypes and a lack of female role models. Tata Steel has consistently worked towards changing the scenario by
breaking the stereotypes and the glass ceiling.
» Tata Steel Limited is the first company in India to deploy women in all shifts in mines. The Women@Mines
programme provides technical training to unskilled women workers and enable them to work in core jobs in mines.
» Under the ‘Flames of Change’ initiative, Tata Steel Limited recruited 23 women to create the first-ever crew of
female firefighters in the steel industry in India.
In the Netherlands, in 2022, the Company established the Tata Steel Pride network in IJmuiden to ensure that
employees with LGBTQIA+ related questions can find the required support. Tata Steel wants to be a more attractive
employer for women in the Netherlands, and aims at employing 5% women in vocational-technical positions and 30%
women in decision-making positions by 2027. The Company has an extensive programme of activities to promote
diversity and inclusion, including communication campaigns, inspiration sessions and participation in Diversity Day,
and exploring potential initiatives like 24/7 childcare, workwear with a fit for women, and the (FE)male network.
In the UK, the Company aims to have a more diverse workforce in its widest sense, i.e., not just male/female diversity.
It is making concerted efforts to improve diversity, from its Women in Steel network to its roll-out of Equality, Diversity
and Inclusion (EDI) training and awareness sessions across the workforce.

B3. Biodiversity
Risk Rationale for identifying the risk/ Approach to adapt or mitigate
opportunity
Regulatory risks and increased spending Tata Steel has a Biodiversity Policy in place and is deploying Biodiversity Management
due to the requirements of forest diversion Plans (BMP) for 17 sites in India and plans to cover the remaining ones. These plans
and other compliances and restoration of are designed on the foundation of a mitigation hierarchy (avoid, minimise, restore,
biodiversity loss. and offset) tool after a baseline assessment.
In the Netherlands, the biodiversity initiatives at the IJmuiden site are part of a
comprehensive biodiversity management plan called Staalblauwtje (Steel Blue)
which has been in place for a number of years. It aims to use the site as a corridor
between the two Natura 2000 dune reserves that border the site, creating better
connectivity between these areas.
In the UK, Tata Steel is guardian to large areas of natural habitat including several areas
with the UK designation ‘Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs)’. It works closely with
the relevant regulators in England and Wales, agreeing management plans for these
areas and ensuring responsible stewardship of the habitats and species that thrive on
them. In addition to the designated areas with its sites, some of TSUK’s operations are
in proximity to habitats benefitting from a range of UK habitat designations. In all such
cases, the environmental permit regulations require the Company to assess any impact
its operations may have on the adjacent habitats. The assessed impacts are very small.
Any protections linked to the protected habitats are incorporated into environmental
permits for the relevant sites and Tata Steel is in compliance with such requirements. In
addition to meeting its responsibilities for protected sites, where opportunities arise to
do so, it looks for ways to encourage biodiversity on other land-holdings and thereby
contribute to protecting the natural heritage of the UK’s landscape.
Tata Steel aims to cover 100% of sites under the BMP in India, the UK and the Netherlands
by 2025. It aims to be a Nature-based Solutions leader in India by 2030.

Leadership Indicators
1. Awareness programmes conducted for value chain partners on any of the principles during the financial year:
Tata Steel takes several initiatives to create awareness amongst its value chain partners on key issues related to the 9
Principles of the National Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct. Most of the awareness programmes conducted
for value chain partners can be broadly classified into three segments, i.e., Safety, Ethics and Business Responsibility:
a. Safety: Tata Steel’s goal is to achieve ‘Zero Harm’ and to become an industry leader in Safety and Health performance.
The Company has taken several measures in this direction:
» Enunciated safety policies that provide clear direction.
» Created a sound safety governance structure.
» Established robust management and reporting systems.
» Created training and communication mechanisms.
» Defined performance measures and indicators to track its Safety and Health performance.
These measures extend to employees, workers, and all value chain partners who enter the Company’s sites. All
individuals, including contract employees working with vendor partners, need to undergo compulsory safety training
to enter Tata Steel’s plants. This ensures a shared understanding of safety risks and principles between all personnel
present on the site.
Ethics: Tata Steel’s vendor partners frequently undergo awareness sessions on the Company’s Anti-Bribery and
b.
Anti-Corruption Policy, the Tata Code of Conduct, and the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Policy. Key topics covered
under these awareness sessions include Governance, Ethics, Health and Safety, Labour Practices, and Human Rights.
Supply Chain Responsibility: All Tata Steel’s supplier partners in India are signatory to Tata Steel Business Associate
c.
Code of Conduct (TSBACoC ) which outlines the ESG standards required for conducting business with Tata Steel,
covering essential areas such as regulatory compliance, bribery and corruption, health and safety, human rights,
environmental protection, asset protection, third-party representation, violation reporting, and conflict of interest.
Tata Steel has launched its RSCP Programme across multiple geographies. The programme covers issues related to
ethical behaviour, human rights, health & safety, and environmental sustainability, amongst others. For all key entities
of the Tata Steel Group, 100% of suppliers are made aware of Tata Steel’s RSCP through various training programmes.
The critical suppliers defined using ResponsibleSteelTM guidelines are evaluated by a third-party according to the
minimum expectations of the policy and categorised from ‘Basic’ to ‘Leading’ based on their performance. During
FY2023-24, the Company assessed 216 critical suppliers in India. It conducts trainings and webinars to educate all
critical suppliers on the four principles of RSCP. The gaps/opportunities for improvement are identified through the
third-party assessments. Through the Vendor Capability Advancement Programme (VCAP), Tata Steel collaborates
with the suppliers to take up improvement projects to enhance their productivity, safety standards, delivery efficiency,
product quality, and sustainability performance by sharing best practices and enabling cross learning.
2. Does the entity have processes in place to avoid/manage conflict of interests involving members of the Board?
(Yes/No) If yes, provide details of the same.
Yes, Tata Steel has the Tata Code of Conduct for all members of Tata Steel’s Board, which requires all Directors of the
Company to always act in the interest of the Company and ensure that any other business or personal association which
they may have does not involve any conflict of interest with the operations of the Company. In case of any actual or potential
conflicts of interest, the concerned Director is required to immediately report such conflicts and seek approvals as required
by the applicable law and under Company’s policies.
The Company receives an annual declaration from its Board of Directors and all employees confirming adherence to the
Code of Conduct, which includes the provisions on dealing with conflict of interest.

Tata Steel’s Research & Development initiatives combine top-class innovation with cutting-edge technology to deliver
solutions in a constantly changing world. Tata Steel also works very closely with its customers to ensure they get all the
support they need to design new products and applications.
2 a. Does the entity have procedures in place for sustainable sourcing? (Yes/No)
Yes, Tata Steel has a Responsible Supply Chain Policy (RSCP) for its key operations, which applies to all supply chain partners.
All our supplier partners are also signatory to the Tata Steel Business Associate Code of Conduct.
The Responsible Supply Chain policy encourages our suppliers to share Tata Steel’s commitment on embedding sustainable
and focusses on the following four principles:
Health and safety: Tata Steel expects its suppliers to adopt management practices in health and safety that provide
i.
a high level of safeguard for their workers.
ii. air business practices: The business associate code of conduct outlines the ethical standards and fair business
F
practices by which Tata Steel conducts its business, and the Company expects its suppliers to adopt similar principles.
Environmental protection: Tata Steel expects suppliers to maintain effective policies, processes, and procedures
iii.
to manage their environmental impact.
Human rights: Tata Steel expects suppliers to develop and implement policies and procedures to promote and
iv.
protect human rights in their business and across their value chain.
All our key suppliers are assessed at a pre-defined frequency on the RSCP principles, and our supplier are classified
into 5 maturity bands ranging from Basic to Improving , Established, Mature and Leading. The gaps and opportunities
identified for improvement during the RSCP assessment is shared with our supplier partners which enables them to take
up collaborative projects and share best practices to bridge the same. As a next step, a 4-step sustainable procurement
framework has also been developed in the direction of integrating sustainability in the buying decisions and will be piloted
in some key buys in FY’25. The 4 steps are:
a) lanning/product selection - ESG risks within our supply chain are identified and a comprehensive understanding
P
is developed on the sustainable products and suppliers (suppliers with ResponsibleSteel or equivalent certifications)
in the market.
b) endor selection - During the vendor selection phase, only those vendors who have successfully qualified our

c) valuation and contract issuance - The sustainability performance of our suppliers will be assessed and incentives
E
will be provided to those who demonstrate superior performance.
d) ontract Management - Sustainability requirements will be integrated into the contract documents and mechanisms
C

As a member of ResponsibleSteelTM, Tata Steel also promotes and recognises other relevant programmes, such as the
Responsible Minerals Initiative, amongst its suppliers. Since 2019, Tata Steel Nederland has also been a member of the
Metal Covenant, an initiative of the Social and Economic Council, where the government, unions, non-governmental
organisations, and companies collaborate on the implementation of the OECD guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct
and work on improving conditions in the metals value chain.
In the UK, in FY2023-24, Tata Steel had a procurement spent of ~£1.2 billion with approximately 2,500 ‘active’ vendors of
which 625 vendors, had been qualified or re-qualified through SAP Ariba which includes alignment with the Company’s
Responsible Supply Chain Policy. 100% of Tata Steel UK vendors are made aware of the policy during their onboarding
process. The Company is currently in the process of developing Tata Steel UK Responsible Sourcing & Modern Slavery Policies.
3. Describe the processes in place to safely reclaim your products for reusing, recycling and disposing at the end
of life, for (a) Plastics (including packaging) (b) E-waste (c) Hazardous waste and (d) other waste.
Steel has a very long useful life (typically 25 to 30 years) due to its durability before it needs to be scrapped and recycled.
Steel is ideally suited to a circular economy: it is durable and flexible with a long lifespan, provides many opportunities for
its reuse and product life extension, is easily recovered and recycled after scrapping due to its magnetic properties, and
can produce new steel using well-proven low-carbon technology. Steel is the only genuinely cradle-to-cradle recycled
material, and end-of-life steel, or scrap steel, is not considered a waste product by the steel industry. Instead, it is regarded
as an input for steelmaking by remelting and is a globally traded commodity.
Tata Steel is committed to circularity and looks to maximise the use of steel scrap in its operations. Accordingly, Tata Steel
reuses scrap generated during the production process as well as procures external scrap. In FY2023-24, Tata Steel recycled
around 4.3 million tonnes of scrap (~1.8 million tonnes internal scrap and ~2.5 million tonnes external scrap).
4. Whether Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is applicable to the entity’s activities (Yes/No). If yes, whether
the waste collection plan is in line with the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) plan submitted to Pollution
Control Boards? If not, provide steps taken to address the same.
Yes. In India, different types of wastes are being managed as per the rules notified by Ministry of Environment, Forest and
Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India.
Tata Steel Limited obtained the Plastic Waste EPR Registration Certificate under the ‘Brand Owner’ and ‘Importer’ categories
as per the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016; Battery Waste EPR Registration Certificate under the ‘Producer’ category
for Jamshedpur location as per the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022, and Hazardous Waste Authorisation for various
sites as per the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.
Tata Steel UK has a formal legal Extended Producer Responsibility obligation under the Producer Responsibility Obligations
Regulations in the United Kingdom with respect to its packaging grades of steel. This accounts for around 13% of Tata
Steel UK’s turnover. The regulations stipulate minimum end-of-life recycling rates to be achieved through direct action
and activities in its value chain. Tata Steel is in compliance with the regulations.
Leadership Indicators
1. Has the entity conducted Life Cycle Perspective/Assessments (LCA) for any of its products (for manufacturing
industry) or for its services (for service industry)? If yes, provide details in the following format.
Yes, Tata Steel conducts LCA for most of its products manufactured across various facilities, allowing it to demonstrate
that improvements in material utilisation and right-first-time manufacturing can reduce emissions during the production
phase. The Company also plans to collaborate with its customers to conduct a cradle-to-grave LCA study to comprehend
the impact of its products.
Tata Steel UK is widely recognised for its expertise in LCA. By taking a supply chain perspective, the Company demonstrates
how improvements in material utilisation and right-first-time manufacturing can reduce emissions during the production
phase. Its LCA models allow it to consider the complete value chain, for instance the impact of the carbon intensity of
regional grid electricity (gCO2/kWh) on the carbon footprint of a vehicle or building. To extend its capability in this area, Tata
Steel UK developed the PACI (Product Assessment Carbon Indicator) tool. This streamlines the process of undertaking life
cycle studies of products and enables an understanding of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission hotspots and trade-offs in the
steel product value chain, which can be used to inform new product developments and optimise existing manufacturing
routes. PACI has been used to support collaborative projects with customers and to support sharing and learning about
opportunities for emissions reduction over the product’s life cycle from manufacture through to use and finally end-of-life:
for example, working with an automotive OEM to examine all aspects of materials selection, including material type, steel
grade, gauge, and aspects of formability and part design. Another example has been the use of the tool in understanding
the trade-off between benefits in use from improving motor efficiency versus embodied GHG emissions associated with
different grades of electrical steels. The tool was recognised by World Steel Association in 2023, winning a Steelie award
for Excellence in Life Cycle Assessment.

All contract employees in India, under Tata Steel Group, are covered under Employees’ State Insurance Corporation benefits and in case of any eventuality or
death, financial aid to the family is extended under the Tata Steel Suraksha Scheme.
Tata Steel employees at Jamshedpur and mining locations are covered under the Company’s medical hospital for free medical treatment for self and dependents.
1
For Tata Steel’s European subsidiaries, Health Insurance and/or medical benefits are either provided by the government (e.g., the National Health Services in UK)
2
or are compulsory. Accordingly, all employees are considered to be covered. Under Thailand labour law, health insurance, accident insurance, maternity benefits,
paternity benefits and day care facilities are covered under social security schemes for other than permanent workers.
3
For Tata Steel’s European subsidiaries, day care facilities are typically provided by the national governments or part of the national school system. Employers
are not directly involved, but 100% employees have access to such benefits.
4
Others includes transgender personnel in case of permanent employees and workers. Other than permanent workers include transgender workers as well as
overseas personnel where gender bifurcation is not available.
Across Jamshedpur, Kalinganagar, and mining locations in India, the Industrial Hygiene assessment was completed in 14
departments, and the Ergonomic assessment was completed in 24 departments. Tata Steel also offers its employees various
in-house health and wellness programmes, counselling services, and health clinics to promote their overall physical and
mental well-being. The Company also organises regular health and wellness activities, including health fairs, wellness
workshops, and health camps, to encourage employees to adopt healthy habits and lifestyles.
As a significant step towards ensuring holistic well-being of the Company’s employees, a Chief Wellness Officer was
appointed to drive Occupational Health initiatives. In FY2023-24, the ‘Wellness for Life’ portal was launched. This initiative
includes the introduction of two apps, ‘Wellspring’ and ‘The Wellness Corner’, accessible through the portal. These apps
serve as a comprehensive platform for employees to assess, monitor, and improve their health.
Tata Steel has also partnered with an external agency to provide counselling services to employees and their families for
their mental well-being. Tata Steel employees in India are eligible for a periodic executive health check-up.
In the Netherlands, Tata Steel is implementing a health roadmap, with the vision: ‘We work in optimal conditions to be able
to live and work in a healthy and vital way’. This shared vision emphasises the importance of sustainable employability and
preventive sickness absence. Preventing exposure to hazardous substances and conditions is one of the top priorities for
the avoidance of occupational diseases. The chance that employees may experience extreme temperatures is inherent
in steelmaking. To remove the risk, the Company is working on an app that employees can use to manage their ‘heat
stress’. Further efforts include a campaign to draw employees’ attention to the importance of respiratory protection in
specific situations.
In the UK, Tata Steel is committed to promoting, protecting, and maintaining the mental health and well-being of all
employees through workplace practices by reducing the stigma around mental health and encouraging all employees
to take proactive steps for their own well-being. Tata Steel UK has deployed a mental health policy and created new
supporting resources and training for our Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA) who act as a point of contact for employees
experiencing emotional distress or suffering in silence with mental health problems, such as stress, anxiety or depression.

proportion of total permanent workers is 86% for Tata Steel and its Indian subsidiaries.
Others include transgender personnel as well as overseas personnel where gender classification is not available.
1
Career progression and career development policies are in place for most of the permanent employees and workers at
all locations. Specifically for workers, different policies are in place for various Tata Steel Group entities based on local
market practices. Performance and career development reviews assess the skill level of each worker, which is essential
in their career progression and development. Such reviews are at an individual level at some locations, and team-based
performance review mechanisms are in place at other locations (e.g., Incentive Bonus schemes, Team Performance Rewards,
Iron Ore Sufficiency Rewards, Coal Production Enhancement Rewards, etc.). The annual bonus scheme for Permanent
Workers depends on their performance across productivity, profitability, and safety parameters.
b. What are the processes used to identify work-related hazards and assess risks on a routine and non-routine
basis by the entity?
Tata Steel places the highest emphasis on employee health and safety. The Company has introduced a recalibrated
Risk Matrix to improve its hazard identification and risk assessment process. It has implemented an Environment,
Health and Safety (EHS) Risk Management framework to assess risks associated with all activities. The framework also
captures the top organisational risks related to EHS and outlines strategies to address them.
Tata Steel’s commitment to safety is demonstrated through its continuous efforts to strengthen its safety culture and
reduce risks through strategic interventions. The Company employs several proactive safety tools and measures to
ensure a safe working environment for its employees. These include:
1. Safety Visits and Line Walks, involving regular workplace inspections to identify potential unsafe acts and
conditions by all levels of Company employees.
2. Elimination of Commonly Accepted Unsafe Practices targets unsafe practices that are commonly accepted but
pose a risk to employees’ safety.
3. The Fatality Risk Control Programme is another proactive tool for identifying potential risks that could lead
to fatalities.
4. Job Cycle Checks is a tool for checking the compliance and adequacy of Standard Operating Procedures for a
particular job. It involves reviewing each stage of a job while getting performed at the workplace.
Digital interventions for safety:
i. Tata Steel’s Connected Workforce platform uses a plant-wide heat map that assigns a colour code to microzones
inside the works. By using electronic work permit data, training data, skill data, etc., coupled with near real-time
image analytics, the system delivers a continuous risk assessment of person, place, process, and asset.
ii. As part of its business responsibility of ensuring a safe work environment and improving safety and health at
workplace, far-site Integrated Remote Operation Centre (iRoC) has been established for Agglomerates (8 iSPOC
for Sinter Plant and Pellet Plant Operations), Raw Materials (14 iRMSC for Remote Supervision of 5 raw material
locations) operations, Coke Plant (the newly inaugurated iCPROC at Jamshedpur) and the Integrated Maintenance
Excellence Centre (iMEC) is TSL’s innovation hub, offering real-time, advanced maintenance advice to shop
floors to reduce the physical human footprint at the hazardous shop floor location and provide ergonomic and
comfortable environment to employees compared to near location control rooms. It has the added benefit of
reducing the carbon footprint of operators travelling to remote plant and raw material locations, making them
more sustainable.
c. Whether you have processes for workers to report the work-related hazards and to remove themselves from
such risks.
Yes, all employees can report incidents and near-misses through a bespoke IT platform to enable prompt reporting,
investigation, and learning. Tata Steel follows a reporting and investigation process to identify the root cause of
any incidents and to implement corrective and preventive measures to prevent recurrence of similar incidents. The
reporting and investigation process is aligned with the incident investigation procedures outlined in the Tata Steel
Incident Management System.
The ‘Speak Up’ helpline can be used by employees to raise their safety concerns anonymously.
In addition to these reporting mechanisms, Tata Steel also conducts regular safety audits, safety assessments, and
safety walk-downs to identify and address any safety risks in the workplace. These audits and assessments are
performed by internal safety auditors and external safety experts, and the findings are used to improve the safety
management system.
d. Do the employees/worker of the entity have access to non-occupational medical and healthcare services?
Yes. Tata Steel prioritises the health and well-being of its employees and workers. The Company provides access to
non-occupational medical and healthcare services, such as hospitals, dispensaries, and health insurance, at their
respective locations. At overseas locations our employees have access to national health services provided by
national governments.
12. Describe the measures taken by the entity to ensure a safe and healthy work place.
Tata Steel is committed to zero harm. The Company’s safety culture is driven through six safety strategies that provide
clear direction and create a sound safety governance structure:
c. Digital interventions for risk reduction across all locations of Tata Steel.
d. Felt Leadership 2.0 to develop the safety leadership competency of associated companies, union leadership,
and vendor partners.
II) Improve competency and capability for hazard identification and risk management.
a. The state-of-the-art Practical Safety Training Centre (PSTC) in Jamshedpur addresses risk perception. The Safety
Leadership Development Centres (SLDC) in Jamshedpur and IJmuiden are fully operational. These facilities are
now being extended to Kalinganagar and Meramandali.
b. To ensure organisation-wide awareness, all 86 safety standards have been converted to e-learning modules
assigned to all levels of the workforce through positional mapping.
c. 5S and Visual Workplace Management assessment and subsequent risk mitigation.
d. Revised life-saving rules for manufacturing units, construction sites, and mines were rolled out in FY2023-24 to
re-emphasise safety discipline in the workforce.
e. ‘Know your PPE’ and ‘Life Saving Rules’ campaigns were conducted in FY2023-24 for all Tata Steel Limited locations.
Focused safety campaigns on ‘Manual Tasks and Tools’ were organised at Kalinganagar and Meramandali, and
‘Working at Height’ at the Engineering & Projects division.
15. Provide details of any corrective action taken or underway to address safety-related incidents (if any) and on
significant risks/concerns arising from assessments of health and safety practices and working conditions.
All safety incidents and near-misses are investigated, and risk mitigation is done through the incident classification, reporting
and investigation safety standard. This is supported by ENSAFE, and the Environment, Health and Safety recalibrated risk
assessment system. All OFIs (Opportunities for Improvement) identified during the internal and external assessments are
captured and addressed through the IT system.
Corrective actions and its horizontal deployment are a continuous process in Tata Steel Limited, where all safety incidents
are recorded, investigated and corrective actions are communicated and implemented across the organisation. Some key
actions taken under the six safety strategies are listed in Question 12 (Principle 3 Essential Indicator) above.
Leadership Indicators
1. Does the entity extend any life insurance or any compensatory package in the event of death of (A) Employees
(B) Workers.
A) Employees – Yes
B) Workers – Yes
In case of death or permanent/temporary disablement of any employee or permanent worker, Tata Steel has institutionalised
various social security schemes in India to ensure the continuity of the same standard of living for the employee or
their family:
» Family Support Scheme (in case of death due to an accident at the workplace).
» Family Benefit Scheme (in case of death due to any reason other than an accident at the workplace or while going or
coming to duty).
» Employee Family Benefit Scheme (in case of death while in service) and Medical Separation Scheme (in case of disability
while in service).
» TISCO Employee Family Benefit Scheme, and TISCO Officers Family Benefit Scheme, allow the employee or their family
to derive monthly pension or employment (in select schemes) along with the lump sum retirals and other benefits.
» For non-permanent workers in India across Tata Steel Group, the Suraksha Scheme provides financial stability to the
worker’s family in case of death or permanent disablement due to an accident at the workplace. Similar schemes are
also available in Tata Steel Indian entities.
» Tata Steel also provided the Family Protection Scheme to support the families of employees who passed away during
the COVID-19 pandemic.
» Tata Steel Nederland, as part of the pension scheme of the pension fund, the fund provides pension for the surviving
partner of employees/workers who are members of the pension scheme.
» In Tata Steel UK, employees and workers who are also members of the Pension Scheme (PRSP) may be eligible to
a payment of up to 4 times pensionable pay in the event of their death whilst employed by TSUK. Payments are
discretionary and usually paid to the beneficiary identified on the nomination form but may be paid to any other
identified person(s) as determined by the Trustee.
2. Provide the measures undertaken by the entity to ensure that statutory dues have been deducted and deposited
by the value chain partners.
The contract between Tata Steel and its suppliers incorporates statutory provisions including payment and deduction of
statutory dues such as Goods and Services Tax. The suppliers are responsible for adherence to various statutes required
for their operations, whilst Tata Steel is responsible as a principal employer.
Tata Steel Limited’s Contractor Cell, at Jamshedpur and Kalinganagar, drives compliance of payment of statutory dues of
the suppliers’ workers in its premises. The Contractor Cell programme will be extended to other locations in India.
The suppliers are mandated to pay all statutory dues to their employees (such as Provident Fund, Employee State Insurance,
etc.) within the stipulated time and such payments are verified by the members of the Contractor Cell. Non-compliance
attracts actions required under law and penalties as per Tata Steel’s own policies.
3. Provide the number of employees/workers having suffered high consequence work- related injury/ill-health/
fatalities (as reported in Q11 of Essential Indicators above), who have been rehabilitated and placed in suitable
employment or whose family members have been placed in suitable employment.

6. Provide details of any corrective actions taken or underway to address significant risks/concerns arising from
assessments of health and safety practices and working conditions of value chain partners.
Over the years, Tata Steel has taken several actions to address significant risks/concerns arising from assessments of health
and safety practices and working conditions of value chain partners. Tata Steel collaborates with suppliers to improve
their sustainability performance by sharing opportunities for improvement, especially with those identified as ‘Basic’ and
‘Improving’ under the RSCP assessment.
Tata Steel also strives to build the capabilities of its value chain partners. Some key actions taken are below:
» Tata Steel supports its suppliers in their capability-building initiatives in a structured manner (please refer to the Integrated
Report’s Social and Relationship Capital section of Tata Steel’s Integrated Report FY2023-24). Supplier partners may be
suspended or withdrawn from the Company’s vendor list if they do not meet the requirements. High-risk jobs are
assigned to only those vendor partners who score 3-star or above ratings in a comprehensive safety due diligence
process known as the Contractor Safety Management Standard. High-risk work includes working at height, hot work,
confined space entry, electrical work, transportation, etc.
» Incorporating safety and health requirements as mandatory conditions in the RFQ documents, the safety and health
requirements are formalised during the pre-bid meetings.
» Creating a safety recognition or positive discrimination framework among high-performing vendors on safety
performance (4-star and 5-star).
› Rewards through the provision of special privileges during contract award decisions.
› Recognition by the Senior Leadership Team and provisions of better growth opportunities.
» Through its flagship Vendor Capability Advancement Programme, Tata Steel is working with the low safety score vendors
to improve their safety performance through handholding and training.
» The Safety Excellence Reward & Recognition framework was initially introduced for management employees of Tata
Steel Limited in India to promote a positive safety culture and reward individuals and departments with exceptional
safety performance. This framework has now been extended to all employees, including contract employees and vendor
partners of Tata Steel Limited.
» Encouraging transportation service partners to use smart apps, such as HumSafer, to track real-time behaviour and
sleep detection of drivers, which is a major reason for fatal accidents on roads. Tata Steel’s major vendor partners have
implemented the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to reduce the probability of road accidents.
» Parikshan, an initiative to impart e-module-based training on Transportation Safety and Material Storage and Handling,
was launched in Jamshedpur, covering 280+ contract employees with a 96% passing rate after 1st attempt.
» For deeper involvement of the senior leadership of the vendor partners in driving safety initiatives, focused
group discussions were organised with nine critical vendor partners and three best practices suggested by them
were implemented.
» Engineering controls are implemented across the Company’s warehousing units to isolate the employees of the vendor
partners from hazards associated with Scotch Block placements.
» In the UK, for contract life-cycle management, a Supply-Chain Improvement Request (SIR) system exists to capture
improvement opportunities with suppliers for Safety, Health, Environment, Delivery and Quality. The same system allows
the issuing of positive commendations to suppliers who demonstrates going over and beyond the initial requirements.
During FY2023-24, 40 SIRs were raised and issued to suppliers.
Principle 4: Businesses should respect the interests of and be responsive to all its stakeholders.

Leadership Indicators
1. Provide the processes for consultation between stakeholders and the Board on economic, environmental, and
social topics or if consultation is delegated, how is feedback from such consultations provided to the Board.
Tata Steel has delegated the consultation between the stakeholders and the Board on economic, environmental,
and social topics to the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (CEO&MD) of the Company. The CEO&MD and
the senior leadership team of Tata Steel and its subsidiary companies regularly update the Board and various Board
Committees on relevant issues. These updates are provided during the Board meetings and separate meetings for various
Board Committees.
Tata Steel has established various processes which ensure feedback from key stakeholders are received by the management
and presented to the Board and Board committees in their meetings. Some examples of forums to receive feedback from
various stakeholder groups are listed in Section C, Principle 2, Essential Indicators, Question 2.
2. Whether stakeholder consultation is used to support the identification and management of environmental, and
social topics (Yes/No). If so, provide details of instances as to how the inputs received from stakeholders on these
topics were incorporated into policies and activities of the entity.
Yes, Tata Steel relies on the outcome of the stakeholder’s consultation, including those identified during the Materiality
Assesment Exercise, to identify its key policies and activities on environmental and social topics. Following the Materiality
Exercise, Tata Steel has adopted ambitious targets for all identified areas. As one of its strategic objectives, Tata Steel aspires
to achieve industry leadership in sustainability. Initiatives taken to achieve these targets have been articulated in this BRSR.
Tata Steel follows an integrated approach of balancing stakeholder requirements while formulating Long Term Plans and
Annual Business Plans, which helps to mitigate adverse impacts and community risks that may arise from its operations.
Accordingly, the sustainability issues identified during the Materiality Assessment (please refer to Section A, Sub-section
VII, Question 24) are embedded in Tata Steel’s strategic planning process and their impact is mitigated through focused
action plans and resource allocation, including capital expenditure, revenue expenditure, technology adoption, manpower
planning, etc.
3. Provide details of instances of engagement with, and actions taken to, address the concerns of vulnerable/
marginalised stakeholder groups.
In India, Tata Steel’s steelmaking and mining operations are in the states of Jharkhand and Odisha, both of which have
a large indigenous population, and accordingly the community amongst which it operates can be considered to be
vulnerable and marginalised stakeholder groups.
The value proposition of Tata Steel’s engagement with the community is to enable lasting betterment in the well-being of
communities in the operating region through regional development models prioritising the excluded and those proximate
to business operations. Additionally, Tata Steel is also looking at addressing core development gaps at a national scale
through replicable models of development. Some actions taken by the Company to address their concerns are:
1. Ensuring safety in operating sites so that the health and safety of communities is not compromised.
2. Sustaining community outreach activities in areas where the Company operates.
3. Actively supporting communities through initiatives encompassing public health, household nutrition, access to
conservation of water, household sanitation, holistic education, stable livelihoods, nurturing sporting talent, enabling
a life of dignity for persons with disabilities, creating necessary public infrastructure and amenities, and enabling

Tata Steel has a strong commitment to sustainable development and has taken several measures to protect and promote
human rights. Tata Steel has put systems in place to encourage the reporting of concerns related to human rights. In
addition to Tata Steel’s own internal processes, employees and suppliers are encouraged to use Tata Steel’s confidential
reporting system to report any concerns. The Speak Up platform is available to employees to anonymously raise concerns
about any aspect of Tata Steel’s operations. (https://www.tatasteel.com/corporate/our-organisation/ethics/).
On receipt of any concern through email, letter, web helpline or orally, it is registered by the Ethics Department of Tata Steel.
The investigation team gathers, validates, and analyses the data and provides their observations and recommendations.
The investigation report is further reviewed by the Chief Ethics Counsellor or other appropriate authority and the
recommendations are acted upon. The documentation of the action taken is filed for records. Issues concerning the Key
Managerial Personnel’s, Senior Managerial Personnel’s and Chief Ethics Counsellor are addressed to the Chairperson of the
Audit Committee of the Company and those concerning other employees are addressed to the Chief Ethics Counsellor of
the Company. The Ethics Counsellor regularly provides an update to the Tata Steel Board’s Audit Committee on the status
of various grievance redressal mechanisms.
Tata Steel also obtains declarations from all the value chain partners regarding SA8000:2014 and other ISO requirements.
Moreover, all of Tata Steel’s value chain partners have to affirm compliance with the Tata Code of Conduct.
When deemed appropriate, Tata Steel requires suppliers operating in regions recognised as having a higher risk of human
rights abuse, including slavery and human trafficking, to adopt suitable and robust policies and procedures to prevent such
abuses. It could include having suitable accreditation (e.g., SA 8000:2014). If no suitable accreditation exists, a supplier must
provide evidence that their policies cover the key elements of SA8000:2014, including no forced labour in their operations.
Any reported concerns are investigated thoroughly, and appropriate action taken following due process.
No reports were received in respect of modern slavery or human trafficking in the supply chain during FY2023-24. No evidence
of such instance has been observed in the value chain during the third-party human rights due diligence assessment.

purchase order copies submitted to vendors include compliance with SA8000:2014 requirements, and all vendor partners
must comply with such requirements. The SA8000:2014 policy covers various aspects of human rights such as child labour,
forced or compulsory labour, health and safety, freedom of association, non-discrimination, disciplinary practices, security
practices, working hours, compensation practices, supply chain practices and management systems.
Tata Steel also follows the TCoC globally and expects all business associates and value chain partners to adhere to its
principles. Specific clauses of the Tata Code of Conduct, including clauses on human rights, are included in all its business
agreements and contracts/purchase orders.

Note: Tata Steel also operates its Management Development Centre besides the Dimna Lake (Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary) in Jamshedpur since 1954
However, Tata Steel’s steelmaking site, at IJmuiden, is nestled between ecologically sensitive (Natura 2000) areas: on the
south side (of the North Sea Canal) is the Kennemer-land South area, and on the north-northwest side is the Noordhollands
Duinreservaat (North Holland Dune Reserve) area. While Tata Steel Nederland is still at an early stage of deliberately
integrating biodiversity at the IJmuiden site, numerous relevant initiatives concerning biodiversity are already in place. The
biodiversity initiatives are part of a comprehensive biodiversity management plan that is titled Staalblauwtje (Steel Blue)
which has been in place for a number of years. It aims to use our site at IJmuiden as a corridor between the two Natura
2000 dune reserves that border the site, creating better connectivity between these areas.
In the UK, Tata Steel is guardian to large areas of natural habitat including several areas with the UK designation ‘Sites of
Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs).’ It works closely with the relevant regulators in England and Wales, agreeing management
plans for these areas and ensuring responsible stewardship of the habitats and species that thrive on them. In addition
to the designated areas with its sites, some of TSUK’s operations are in proximity to habitats benefitting from a range
of UK habitat designations. In all such cases, the environmental permit regulations require the Company to assess any
impact its operations may have on the adjacent habitats. The assessed impacts are very small. Any protections linked to
the protected habitats are incorporated into environmental permits for the relevant sites and Tata Steel is in compliance
with such requirements. In addition to meeting its responsibilities for protected sites, where opportunities arise to do so, it
looks for ways to encourage biodiversity on other landholdings and thereby contribute to protecting the natural heritage
of the UK’s landscape.

details of significant direct & indirect impact of the entity on biodiversity in such areas along-with prevention
and remediation activities.
Tata Steel is keenly aware of the importance of having a net positive impact on nature and biodiversity in its operations.
Tata Steel launched its Biodiversity Policy in 2016 to integrate biodiversity into its business ecosystem for a greener future.
The policy is a public commitment to conserve, enhance, and restore biodiversity in the Company’s present and prospective
areas of operation and across the supply chain.
The Biodiversity Policy is operationalised through actionable Biodiversity Management Plans (BMPs), which are designed
on the foundation of a mitigation hierarchy (avoid, minimise, restore, and offset) tool. These include biodiversity studies,
ground truthing studies, secondary research, stakeholder interactions, and understanding the risks from the Company’s
operations and community behaviour.
In India, Tata Steel has deployed BMPs for 17 sites in India and plans to cover the remaining ones. In the Netherlands, a
comprehensive biodiversity management plan called Staalblauwtje (Steel Blue) which has been in place for a number of
years. It aims to use the site as a corridor between the two Natura 2000 dune reserves that border the site, creating better
connectivity between these areas. Tata Steel aims to cover 100% of sites in India, in the UK, in the Netherlands under the
Biodiversity Management Plan by 2025.
Some initiatives implemented by Tata Steel in India in FY2023-24 are given in the Natural Capital section of Tata Steel’s
Integrated Report FY2023-24.
Where deforestation is unavoidable, Tata Steel is committed to offsetting the forest loss with compensatory afforestation,
leading to no net deforestation. Tata Steel also conducts periodic assessments of its sites to determine the exposure to
critical biodiversity.

The Company in the earlier years had priortised its strategic objective of deleveraging balance sheet over the planned
investments in organic growth projects which resulted in lower capital expenditure on projects as compared to the original
plan as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Following the rebalancing of capital structure and the Company attaining an investment grade credit rating, the capital
allocation for organic growth projects has been increased and the Company expects to commission these facilities in line with
revised completion schedules.

(i) Vehicle cost used for in-house research and development included within right-of-use vehicles is ₹4.01 crore
(March 31, 2023: ₹2.36 crore).
(ii) The Company’s significant leasing arrangements include assets dedicated for use under long-term arrangements, lease
of land, office space, equipment, vehicles and some IT equipment.
L ease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. Each lease
generally imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the Company to sublet the asset to another party,
the right-of-use asset can only be used by the Company. Extension and termination options are included in some property and
equipment leases. These are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Company’s
operations. Majority of the extension and termination options held are exercisable based on mutual agreement of the Company
and the lessors.
ith the exception of short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets, each lease is reflected on the balance sheet
W
as a right of- use asset and a lease liability. Payments made for short term leases and leases of low value are expensed on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
ariable lease payments which do not depend on an index or a rate (such as lease payments based on a percentage of sales)
V
are excluded from the initial measurement of the lease liability and asset.
F or leases recognised under long-term arrangements involving use of a dedicated asset, non-lease components are excluded
based on the underlying contractual terms and conditions. A change in the allocation assumptions may have an impact on the
measurement of lease liabilities and the related right-of-use assets.
During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company has recognised the following in the statement of profit and loss:
a) expense in respect of short-term leases and leases of low-value assets ₹28.66 crore (2022-23: ₹25.85 crore) and ₹1.41 crore
(2022-23: ₹1.42 crore) respectively.
b) expense in respect of variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities ₹66.84 crore
(2022-23: ₹81.03 crore).
c) income in respect of sub-leases of right-of-use assets ₹0.19 crore (2022-23: ₹0.31 crore).
During the year ended March 31, 2024, total cash outflow in respect of leases amounted to ₹1,127.71 crore (March 31, 2023:
₹1,052.32 crore).

(i) The Company holds more than 50% of the equity share capital in TM International Logistics Limited. However, decisions
in respect of activities which significantly affect the risks and rewards of these businesses, require unanimous consent of
all the shareho lders. This entity has therefore been considered as joint venture.
(ii) The Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Kolkata vide order dated April 5, 2019 has admitted the initiation of
Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) in respect of Tayo Rolls Limited, a subsidiary of the Company.
(iii) Tata Steel Europe Limited (“TSE”), a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of the Company, is exposed to certain climate
related risks which could affect the estimates of its future cash flow projections. The cashflow projections include the impact
of decarbonisation given that both the UK and Tata Steel Netherlands (TSN) businesses within TSE have stated their plans
to move away from the current production process and to transition to electric arc based production. Decarbonisation as
a whole is likely to provide significant opportunities to TSE as it is likely to increase the demand for steel as it is crucial as
an infrastructure enabler for all technological transition within the wider economy (e.g. wind power, hydrogen, electric
vehicles, nuclear plants etc.) and compares favourably to other materials when considering the life cycle emissions of the
6. Investments (Contd.)
[Item No. I(g)(i) and II(b)(i), Page F26]
material. The technology transition and investments are dependent on national and international policies and would also
be driven by the government decisions in the country of operation. Management’s assessment is that generally, these
potential carbon reduction-related costs would be borne by the society, either through higher steel prices or through
public spending/subsidies.
On September 15, 2023, Tata Steel UK Limited (“TSUK”) which forms the main part of the UK Business, announced a joint
agreement with the UK Government on a proposal to invest in state-of-the-art electric arc furnace (‘EAF’) steel making at
the Port Talbot site with a capital cost of £1.25 billion inclusive of a grant from the UK Government of up to £500 million,
subject to relevant regulatory approvals, information and consultation processes, and the finalisation of detailed terms
and conditions. The proposal also includes a wider restructuring of other locations and functions across TSUK.
As per local regulations in the UK, the National Consultation between TSUK and the UK multi trade union representative
body (UK Steel Committee) on the asset closure plan has now been concluded. Under the proposed re-structuring
programme, Port Talbot’s two blast furnaces (No.5 and No.4) would get closed by end of June 2024 and latest by the end
of September 2024 respectively. Following the closure of Blast Furnace No. 4, the remaining heavy end assets would wind
down and the Continuous Annealing Processing Line (CAPL) would close in March 2025. TSUK has also agreed that it would
continue to operate the hot strip mill through the proposed transition period and in future.
Given the risks, challenges and uncertainties associated with the underlying market and business conditions including
higher inflation, higher interest rates and supply chain disruption caused by the war in Ukraine, the uncommitted nature
of available financing options and pending the finalisation of funding support from the UK Government for the proposed
EAF investment, there exists a material uncertainty surrounding the impact of such adversities on the financial situation
of TSUK.
With respect to Tata Steel Netherland operations (TSN) which forms main part of the Mainland Europe (MLE) business,
discussions with the government on the proposed decarbonisation roadmap have been initiated. The transition plan
considers that the policy environment in the Netherlands and EU is supportive to the European steel industry and a level
playing field would be achieved by, either one or a combination of: a) Dutch Policy developments, b) Convergence with EU
on (fiscal) climate measures, enabling EU steel players to pass on costs and c) tailor made support mechanisms. In relation
to the likely investments required for the de-carbonisation of TSN operations driven by regulatory changes in Europe and
Netherlands, inter alia, the scenarios consider that the Dutch Government will provide a certain level of financial support
to execute the decarbonisation strategy, which are being discussed between the Company/TSN and Dutch Government.
Based on the above and other available measures, MLE business is expected to have adequate liquidity to meet its future
business requirements.
The recoverable value of investments held in T Steel Holdings Pte. Ltd. (TSH), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
is dependent on the operational and financial performance of TSE, Tata Steel Minerals Canada (TSMC) and net assets of
the other underlying businesses.
The recoverable value of TSE is based on fair value less cost to sell (FVLCTS) for TSUK and TSN, which inter -alia considers
impact of switching the heavy end and other relevant assets to a more “Green Steel” capex base. The fair value computation
uses cash flow forecasts based on most recent financial budgets, strategic forecasts and future projections taking the
analysis out into perpetuity based on a steady state, sustainable cash flow reflecting average steel industry conditions
between successive peaks and troughs of profitability.
Key assumptions for the fair value less cost to sell model relate to expected changes to selling prices and raw material
& conversion costs, EU steel demand, energy costs, exchange rates, the amount of capital expenditure needed for
decarbonisation, changes to EBITDA resulting from producing and selling steel with low embedded CO2 emissions, levels

of government support for decarbonisation, phasing of decommissioning of legacy assets as well as the commissioning of
new low CO2 production facilities, tariff regimes and discount rates. The projections are based on the both past performance
and the expectations of future performance assumptions therein. The Company estimates discount rates using post-tax
rates that reflect the current market rates adjusted to reflect the way the European Union steel market would assess the
specific risk. The weighted average post-tax discount rates used for discounting the cash flows projections is in the range
of 8.20% - 9.11% (March 31, 2023: 7.90% to 8.80%). Beyond the specifically forecasted period, a growth rate in the range
of Nil - 2.00% (March 31, 2023:1.70% - 2.00%) is used to extrapolate the cash flow projections. This rate does not exceed
the average long-term growth rate for the relevant markets.
The Company has conducted sensitivity analysis on the impairment tests including sensitivity in respect of discount rates.
If any of the key assumptions change, there is a risk that the headroom in the model would reduce and that the reduction
in the headroom could lead to impairments of carrying amount of investments in TSH. However, the Company believes
that key assumptions represent the most likely impact from decarbonisation at this point in time. Going forward, the key
assumptions would be kept under review for changes, if any, based on the progress of the discussions with the government
and regulators on the decarbonisation plan.
Based on above, the Company carried out an impairment assessment of its investments held in TSH, which in turn
holds investments in TSE, and recognised an impairment loss of ₹10,038.00 crore during the year in the standalone
financial statements.
(iv) The Company, through erstwhile Tata Steel Long Products Limited (“TSLP”) now merged with the Company, on July 4,
2022, completed the acquisition of Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited (“NINL”). As on March 31, 2024, the total investment of
the Company in NINL is ₹14,196.82 crore.
The recoverable value of such exposure in NINL has been assessed at fair value less costs to sell using cash flow forecasts
based on the most recently approved business plan for financial year 2024-25. Beyond financial year 2024-25, the cash
flow forecasts is based on strategic forecasts which cover a period of eight years and future projections taking the analysis
out to perpetuity. It also includes capital expenditure for capacity expansion of steel making facilities from the current 1.1
MTPA to 4.95 MTPA by financial year 2029-30 as well as estimated EBITDA changes due to implementation of the expansion
strategy and operating the assets.
Key assumptions to the fair value less costs to sell model are changes to selling prices and raw material costs, steel demand,
amount of capital expenditure needed for expansion of the existing facilities, EBITDA and post-tax discount rate of 10.10%
(March 31, 2023: 10.10%). The estimates are based on management’s best estimate of implementing the expansion strategy.
For the fair value less costs to sell model, a terminal growth rate of 4.00% (March 31, 2023: 4.00%) has been used to
extrapolate the cash flows beyond the specifically forecasted period.
The outcome of the impairment assessment as on March 31, 2024 for investments held in NINL has not resulted in any
impairment of investments.
The management has conducted sensitivity analysis including sensitivity in respect of discount rates, on the impairment
assessment of the carrying value of investments held in NINL. The management believes that no reasonably possible
change in any of the key assumptions used in the model would cause the carrying value of investments to materially
exceed its recoverable value.

NOTES

The loan was repayable in 16 equal semi-annual instalments after completion of four years from the date of the tranche.
The Company filed a writ petition being WP No. 70 of 2006 (subsequently renumbered as WPO 70 of 2006) before the High
Court at Calcutta in February 2006 claiming waiver of the outstanding loan and interest and refund of the balance lying
with Steel Development Fund ("SDF"). The Writ Petition was decided by judgment dated August 3, 2022. By the judgment,
the High Court declared that the corpus of SDF can only be utilised for the benefit of the main steel producers. However,
the waiver of loan as sought by the Company was not allowed. Hence, against the judgment the Company filed an appeal
in the High Court being APO No. 85 of 2022.
The appeal has been decided on January 3, 2023. By the final order, High Court has directed the Company to submit a fresh
representation to Union of India and fixed a time of three months for Union of India to take a decision on the representation.
The Company has submitted the representation on March 28, 2023.
The representation of the Company was rejected by Government of India (Ministry of Steel) on December 29, 2023. By a
letter of January 2024, the Company sought No-objection certificate (“NoC”) from Joint Plant Committee (“JPC”) for scheme
of amalgamation of two of its subsidiary companies, namely Bhubaneshwar Power Private Limited and Indian Steel and
Wire Products Limited. By its letter dated February 22, 2024, while NoC has been issued for the merger, JPC has directed
the Company to repay the outstanding SDF loans with interest within one month.
The Company has challenged the rejection of representation by Union of India (vide its communication dated December
29, 2023) and the direction of JPC to the Company to repay the outstanding loans by filing a Writ Petition being WPO No.
227 of 2024. It was also the contention of the company that the company is entitled to refund of all sums paid by it to SDF
and that the Union of India has no right to the same. On May 24, 2024, the Calcutta High Court (Single Bench) has dismissed
the writ petition filed by the Company. The Company is in the process of evaluating the future course of action.
The loan as stated in the standalone financial statement includes funded interest ₹1,189.92 crore (March 31, 2023: ₹1,111.84
crore).
It includes ₹1,639.33 crore (March 31, 2023: ₹1,639.33 crore) representing repayments and interest on earlier loans for
which applications of funding are awaiting sanction and is not secured by charge on movable assets of the Company.
(iii) As at March 31, 2024, the register of charges of the Company as available in records of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs
(MCA) includes charges that were created/modified since the inception of the Company. There are certain charges which are
historic in nature and it involves practical challenges in obtaining no-objection certificates (NOCs) from the charge holders
of such charges, despite repayment of the underlying loans. The Company is in the continuous process of filing the charge
satisfaction e-form with MCA, within the timelines, as and when it receives NOCs from the respective charge holders.

44. The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on February 6, 2023, considered and approved the amalgamation
of Angul Energy Limited (“AEL”) into and with the Company by way of a scheme of amalgamation and had recommended
a cash consideration of ₹1,045/- for every 1 fully paid-up equity share of ₹10/- each held by the shareholders (except the
Company) in AEL. Upon the scheme coming into effect, the entire paid-up share capital of AEL shall stand cancelled in
its entirety.
The amalgamation will ensure consolidation of power assets under a single entity, leading to increased plant reliability,
optimisation of power utilisation and other operation and cost synergies. Further, such restructuring will lead to
simplification of group structure by eliminating multiple companies in similar operation, optimum use of infrastructure,
rationalisation of cost in the areas of operations and administrative overheads, thereby maximising shareholder value of
the Company post amalgamation.
As part of the defined regulatory approval process, this scheme has received approval(s) from stock exchanges and
SEBI. Thereafter, the scheme has been filed at the relevant benches of the NCLT. The scheme has been approved by the
shareholders of Tata Steel Limited on February 9, 2024. The Scheme has been approved and sanctioned by the NCLT, Delhi
Bench on April 18, 2024. The approval and sanction of the NCLT, Mumbai Bench is awaited.
45. The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on November 1, 2023, considered and approved the amalgamation
of Bhubaneshwar Power Private Limited (‘BPPL’) into and with the Company, by way of scheme of amalgamation.
As part of the scheme, equity shares and preference shares, if any, held by the Company in BPPL shall stand cancelled.
No shares of the Company shall be issued, nor any cash payment shall be made whatsoever by the Company in lieu of
cancellation of shares of BPPL (being wholly owned subsidiary).
The scheme has been filed with the Hyderabad bench of the NCLT and sanction is awaited, filing of the scheme with the
Mumbai bench of the NCLT has been dispensed with.
46. Consequent to the whistle-blower complaint in the Company’s Graphene Business Division, the Company has carried out
a detailed assessment and review of the matter and made the accounting adjustments/provisions, as appropriate, in the
books of account, which were not material to the financial statements. Based on the assessment(s) and review, it has been
concluded that there has not been any fraud under Section 447 of the Companies Act, 2013. A report under sub-section
(12) of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 has been filed by the statutory auditors in Form ADT-4 as prescribed under
Rule 13 of Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 with the Central Government.
47. With effect from April 1, 2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has made it mandatory for every company, which
uses accounting software for maintaining its books of account, to use only such accounting software which has a feature
of recording audit trail of each and every transaction, creating an edit log of each change made in books of account along
with the date when such changes were made and ensuring that the audit trail cannot be disabled.
The Company uses multiple accounting software including SAP HANA Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software to
maintain its books of accounts. Implementation of the above notification to ensure enabling appropriate audit log on
financial tables in aforesaid SAP HANA, which have high frequency database operations would lead to a severe system
performance degradation thereby adversely impacting business operations and users, besides requiring significant
additional storage and supporting infrastructure.
With a view to address the above challenges while ensuring compliance with the MCA notification and mitigate the risks
involved therein, the Company has appropriately designed and implemented alternate mitigating controls over direct change
at database level.

(ii) Borrowing costs has been capitalised during the year against qualifying assets under construction using a capitalisation
rate ranges between 8.34% to 9.39% (2022-23: 2.47% to 9.46%).
(iii) During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Group considered indicators of impairment for its cash generating units (‘CGUs’)
within the steel, mining and other business operations, such as decline in operational performance, changes in the outlook
of future profitability among other potential indicators.
In respect of CGUs where indicators of impairment were identified, the Group estimated the recoverable amount based on
the value in use or fair value less cost to sell as appropriate. The outcome of the assessment as on March 31, 2024 resulted in
the Group recognising a net impairment of H2,309.16 crore (2022-23: net impairment reversal of R34.41 crore) for property,
plant and equipment including capital work-in-progress. The impairment charge (net of reversals) for the year is contained
within the European, Southeast Asian Operations and Indian Operations, the details of which are provided below.
With respect to CGUs within the European operations, an impairment charge of H2,282.28 crore (2022-23: H77.83 crore) has
been recognised. Out of the total impairment charge, H2,250.33 crore (2022-23: H53.17 crore) is included within exceptional
items and H31.95 crore (2022-23: R24.66 crore) is included within other expenses in the consolidated statement of profit
and loss. During the year ended March 31, 2023, an impairment reversal of H89.69 crore was recognised within exceptional
items in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. Also refer note 49, page F261.
During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Group has recognised an impairment charge of H0.15 crore (2022-23: R0.22
crore) within the South-east Asia operations. The impairment charge is included within other expenses in the consolidated
statement of profit and loss.
Within the Indian operations, the Group has recognised an impairment charge of R26.73 crore (2022-23: R22.77 crore). Out
of the total impairment charge, R26.55 crore (2022-23: Nil) in respect of surrender of Sukinda Chromite Block is included
within exceptional items and R0.18 crore (2022-23: R22.77 crore) is included within other expenses in the consolidated
statement of profit and loss.
The Group has conducted sensitivity analysis on the impairment tests of the carrying value in respect of Group’s CGUs
including sensitivity in respect of discount rate.
(iv) The details of property, plant and equipment pledged against borrowings is presented in note 22, page F205.

(vii) The expected completion of amounts lying in capital work in progress which are delayed is as below:
The Group in the earlier years had priortised its strategic objective of deleveraging balance sheet over the planned investments
in organic growth projects which resulted in lower capital expenditure on projects as compared to the original plan as approved
by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Following the rebalancing of capital structure and the Company attaining an investment grade credit rating, the capital
allocation for organic growth projects has been increased and the Group expects to commission these facilities in line with
their revised completion schedules.

(i) Within the European operation, an impairment charge of H555.26 crore (March 31, 2023: H5.51 crore) has been recognised.
Out of the total impairment charge, H550.97 crore (2022-23: Nil) is included within exceptional items and H4.29 crore
(2022-23: H5.51 crore) is included within other expenses in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. Also refer note
49, page F261.
(ii) The Group’s significant leasing arrangements relate to assets specifically set up for dedicated use by the Group under long
term arrangements and time charter of vessels. Other leases include land, office space, equipment, vehicles and some
IT equipment.
Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. Each lease
generally imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the Group to sublet the asset to another party,
the right-of-use asset can only be used by the Group. Extension and termination options are included in some property
and equipment leases. These are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the
Group’s operations. Majority of the extension and termination options held are exercisable based on mutual agreement
of the Group and the lessors.
NOTES
forming part of the consolidated financial statements
With the exception of short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets, each lease is reflected on the balance
sheet as a right- of- use asset and a lease liability. Payments made for short term leases and leases of low value are expensed
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Variable lease payments which do not depend on an index or a rate (such as lease payments based on a percentage of
sales) are excluded from the initial measurement of the lease liability and asset.
For leases recognised under long term arrangements involving use of a dedicated asset, non-lease components are
excluded based on the underlying contractual terms and conditions. A change in the allocation assumptions may have
an impact on the measurement of lease liabilities and the related right-of-use assets.
During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Group has recognised the following in the consolidated statement of profit
and loss:
(i) expense in respect of short-term leases and leases of low- value assets H37.63 crore (2022-23: H32.29 crore) and
H36.69 crore (2022-23: H30.57 crore) respectively.
(ii) expense in respect of variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities H244.31 crore
(2022-23: H1,062.45 crore).
(iii) income in respect of sub leases of right-of-use assets Nil (2022-23: H48.70 crore).
During the year ended March 31, 2024, total cash outflow in respect of leases amounted to H1,948.89 crore (2022-23:
H2,777.04 crore).
As at March 31, 2024, commitments for leases not yet commenced was H204.02 crore (March 31, 2023: H214.35 crore).

(i) The carrying value of goodwill includes H4,272.83 crore (March 31, 2023: H4,129.19 crore) that arose on the acquisition of
erstwhile Corus Group Plc. and has been tested in the current year against the recoverable amount of the Business Unit
IJmuiden cash generating unit (CGU) by the Group. This goodwill relates to expected synergies from combining Corus’
activities with those of the Group and to assets, which could not be recognised as separately identifiable intangible assets.
The goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if there are any indications that the goodwill may be
impaired. Also refer note 49, page F261.
The outcome of the Group’s goodwill impairment as at March 31, 2024 for BU Ijmuiden CGU resulted in no impairment of
goodwill (2022- 23: Nil).
(ii) The carrying value of goodwill includes H1,195.69 crore (March 31, 2023: H1,195.69 crore) that arose on the acquisition of
Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited (“NINL”) through erstwhile Tata Steel Long Products Limited. The recoverable value of NINL
has been assessed at fair value less costs to sell using cash flow forecasts based on the most recently approved business
plan for financial year 2024-25. Beyond financial year 2024-25, the cash flow forecasts is based on strategic forecasts which
cover a period of eight years and future projections taking the analysis out to perpetuity. It also includes capital expenditure
for capacity expansion of steel making facilities from the current 1.1 MTPA to 4.95 MTPA by financial year 2029-30 as well
as estimated EBITDA changes due to implementation of the expansion strategy and operating the assets.
Key assumptions to the fair value less costs to sell model are changes to selling prices and raw material costs, steel
demand, amount of capital expenditure needed for expansion of the existing facilities, EBITDA, and a post-tax discount
rate of 10.10% (March 31, 2023: 10.10%). The estimates are based on management’s best estimates of implementing the
expansion strategy.
For the fair value less costs to sell model, a terminal growth rate of 4.00% (March 31, 2023: 4.00%) has been used to
extrapolate the cash flows beyond the specifically forecasted period.
The outcome of the impairment assessment as on March 31, 2024 has not resulted in impairment of Goodwill.
The Group has conducted sensitivity analysis including sensitivity in respect of discount rate on the impairment assessment
of goodwill. The Group believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions used in the model would
cause the carrying value of goodwill to materially exceed its recoverable value.

The Group’s investment policy is driven by considerations of maximising returns while ensuring credit quality of debt instruments.
The asset allocation for plan assets is determined based on prescribed investment criteria and is also subject to other exposure
limitations. The Group evaluates the risks, transaction costs and liquidity for potential investments. To measure plan assets
performance, the Group compares actual returns for each asset category with published benchmarks.

(iv) Weighted average duration of the retiring gratuity obligation ranges between 6 to 21 years (March 31, 2023: 6 to 23 years).
(v) The Group expects to contribute H463.59 crore to the plan during the financial year 2024-25.
(vi) The table below outlines the effect on retiring gratuity obligation in the event of a decrease/ increase of 1% in the
assumptions used.
The above sensitivities may not be representative of the actual change as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would

Notes:
(i) Current financial assets and liabilities are stated at carrying value which is approximately equal to their fair value.
(ii) Derivatives are fair valued using market observable rates and published prices together with forecasted cash flow
information where applicable.
(iii) Investments carried at fair value are generally based on market price quotations. Investments in equity and preference
shares included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy have been valued using the cost approach to arrive at their fair
value. Cost of unquoted equity instruments has been considered as an appropriate estimate of fair value because of a
wide range of possible fair value measurements and cost represents the best estimate of fair value within that range.
(iv) Fair value of borrowings which have a quoted market price in an active market is based on its market price which is
categorised as Level 1. Fair value of borrowings which do not have an active market or are unquoted is estimated by
discounting the expected future cash flows using a discount rate equivalent to the risk-free rate of return adjusted
for credit spread considered by lenders for instruments of similar maturities which is categorised as Level 2 in the fair
value hierarchy.
(v) Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are
inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value
estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Group could have realised or paid
in sale transactions as of respective dates. As such, fair value of financial instruments subsequent to the reporting
dates may be different from the amounts reported at each reporting date.

of decarbonisation given that both the UK and Tata Steel Netherlands (TSN) businesses within TSE have stated their plans
to move away from the current production process and to transition to electric arc based production. Decarbonisation as
a whole is likely to provide significant opportunities to TSE as it is likely to increase the demand for steel as it is crucial as
an infrastructure enabler for all technological transition within the wider economy ( e.g. wind power, hydrogen, electric
vehicles, nuclear plants etc.) and compares favourably to other materials when considering the life cycle emissions of the
material. The technology transition and investments are dependent on national and international policies and would also
be driven by the government decisions in the country of operation. Management’s assessment is that generally, these
potential carbon reduction-related costs would be borne by the society, either through higher steel prices or through
public spending/subsidies.
On September 15, 2023, Tata Steel UK Limited (“TSUK”) which forms the main part of the UK Business, announced a joint
agreement with the UK Government on a proposal to invest in state-of-the-art electric arc furnace (‘EAF’) steelmaking at
the Port Talbot site with a capital cost of £1.25 billion inclusive of a grant from the UK Government of up to £500 million,
subject to relevant regulatory approvals, information and consultation processes, and the finalisation of detailed terms
and conditions. The proposal also includes a wider restructuring of other locations and functions across TSUK.
Consequent to the announcement, during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company had assessed and
concluded that it had created a valid expectation to those affected and a constructive obligation existed. Accordingly,
on a prudent basis, the Company had recorded a provision of H2,425 crore towards such restructuring and closure costs
(including redundancy and employee termination costs) and H2,631 crore towards impairment of Heavy End assets which
were not expected to be used for any significant period beyond March 31, 2024, in the consolidated statement of profit
and loss.
As per local regulations in the UK, the National Consultation between TSUK and the UK multi trade union representative
body (UK Steel Committee) on the asset closure plan has now been concluded. Under the proposed re-structuring
programme, Port Talbot’s two blast furnaces (No.5 and No.4) would get closed by end of June 2024 and latest by the end
of September 2024 respectively. Following the closure of Blast Furnace No. 4, the remaining heavy end assets would wind
down and the Continuous Annealing Processing Line (CAPL) would close in March 2025. TSUK has also agreed that it would
continue to operate the hot strip mill through the proposed transition period and in future.
Given the risks, challenges and uncertainties associated with the underlying market and business conditions including
higher inflation, higher interest rates and supply chain disruption caused by the war in Ukraine, the uncommitted nature
of available financing options and pending the finalisation of funding support from the UK Government for the proposed
EAF investment, there exists a material uncertainty surrounding the impact of such adversities on the financial situation
of TSUK.
With respect to Tata Steel Netherland operations (TSN) which forms main part of the Mainland Europe (MLE) business,
discussions with the government on the proposed decarbonisation roadmap have been initiated. The transition plan
considers that the policy environment in the Netherlands and EU is supportive to the European steel industry and a level
playing field would be achieved by, either one or a combination of: a) Dutch Policy developments, b) Convergence with EU
on (fiscal) climate measures, enabling EU steel players to pass on costs and c) tailor made support mechanisms. In relation
to the likely investments required for the de-carbonisation of TSN operations driven by regulatory changes in Europe and
NOTES
forming part of the consolidated financial statements
Netherlands, inter alia, the scenarios consider that the Dutch Government will provide a certain level of financial support
to execute the decarbonisation strategy, which are being discussed between the Company /TSN and Dutch Government.
Based on the above and other available measures, MLE business is expected to have adequate liquidity to meet its future
business requirements.
The financial statements of TSE have accordingly been prepared on a going concern basis recognising the material
uncertainty in relation to TSUK. The Group has assessed its ability to meet any liquidity requirements at TSE, if required,
and concluded that its cashflow and liquidity position remains adequate.
Within the European Operations, wherever impairment triggers existed, the recoverable amount of the CGUs have been
assessed based on fair value less costs of disposal, which inter-alia considers impact of switching the heavy end and
other relevant assets to a more “Green Steel” capex base. The fair value computation uses cash flow forecasts based on
most recent financial budgets, strategic forecasts and future projections taking the analysis out into perpetuity based
on a steady state, sustainable cash flow reflecting average steel industry conditions between successive peaks and
troughs of profitability. Key assumptions for the FVLCTS model relate to expected changes to selling prices and raw
material & conversion costs, EU steel demand, energy costs, exchange rates, the amount of capital expenditure needed for
decarbonisation, changes to EBITDA resulting from producing and selling steel with low embedded CO2 emissions, levels
of government support for decarbonisation, phasing of decommissioning of legacy assets as well as the commissioning of
new low CO2 production facilities, tariff regimes and discount rates. The projections are based on both past performance
and the expectations of future performance and assumptions therein. The Group estimates discount rates using post-tax
rates that reflect the current market rates adjusted to reflect the way the European Union steel market would assess the
specific risk. The weighted average post-tax discount rates used for discounting the cash flows projections is in the range
of 8.20% - 9.11% (March 31, 2023: 7.90% to 8.80%). Beyond the specifically forecasted period, a growth rate in the range
of Nil - 2.00% (March 31, 2023: 1.70% - 2.00%) is used to extrapolate the cash flow projections. This rate does not exceed
the average long-term growth rate for the relevant markets.
The Group has conducted sensitivity analysis on the impairment tests of the carrying value in respect of Group’s CGUs and
property, plant and equipment including sensitivity in respect of discount rates. If any of the key assumptions change, there
is a risk that the headroom in the model would reduce and that the reduction in the headroom could lead to impairments of
carrying amount of property, plant and equipment. However, the Group believes that key assumptions represent the most
likely impact from decarbonisation at this point in time. Going forward, the key assumptions would be kept under review for
changes, if any, based on the progress of the discussions with the government and regulators on the decarbonisation plan.
50. Consequent to the whistle-blower complaint in the Company’s Graphene Business Division, the Company has carried out
a detailed assessment and review of the matter and made the accounting adjustments/provisions, as appropriate, in the
books of account, which were not material to the financial statements. Based on the assessment(s) and review, it has been
concluded that there has not been any fraud under Section 447 of the Companies Act, 2013. A report under sub-section
(12) of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 has been filed by the statutory auditors in Form ADT-4 as prescribed under
Rule 13 of Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 with the Central Government.
51. With effect from April 1, 2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has made it mandatory for every company incorporated
in India, which uses accounting software for maintaining its books of account, to use only such accounting software which
has a feature of recording audit trail of each and every transaction, creating an edit log of each change made in books of
account along with the date when such changes were made and ensuring that the audit trail cannot be disabled.
The Company uses multiple accounting software including SAP HANA Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software to
maintain its books of accounts. Implementation of the above notification to ensure enabling appropriate audit log on
financial tables in aforesaid SAP HANA, which have high frequency database operations would lead to a severe system
performance degradation thereby adversely impacting business operations and users, besides requiring significant
additional storage and supporting infrastructure.
With a view to address the above challenges while ensuring compliance with the MCA notification and mitigate the risks
involved therein, the Company has appropriately designed and implemented alternate mitigating controls over direct
change at database level.
52. Dividend
The dividend declared by the Company is based on profits available for distribution as reported in the standalone financial
statements of the Company. On May 29, 2024 the Board of Directors of the Company have proposed a dividend of H3.60
per Ordinary share of H1 each in respect of the year ended March 31, 2024 subject to the approval of shareholders at the
Annual General Meeting. If approved, the dividend would result in a cash outflow of approximately H4,489.86 crore.
53. Previous year’s figures have been reclassified wherever necessary, to align it to current year’s classification.

15 Bhushan Capital & Credit Services Private Limited* Tata Steel BSL Limited (TSBSL) (earlier known as Bhushan Steel Limited), an erstwhile
subsidiary (acquired through the corporate insolvency resolution process) which
amalgamated with the Company during the year ended March, 2022 was being
identified as the promoter of Jawahar Credit & Holdings Private Limited (JCHPL)
and Bhushan Capital & Credit Services Private Limited (BCCSPL). These entities were
connected to the previous management of erstwhile TSBSL.
16 Jawahar Credit & Holdings Private Limited* TSBSL had written to JCHPL, BCCSPL and the Registrar of Companies (National Capital
Territory of Delhi & Haryana) intimating that TSBSL should not be identified as promoter
of these two companies. Neither erstwhile TSBSL nor Tata Steel Limited had any visibility
or control over the operations of these two companies nor currently exercises any
influence on these entities, and hence, these are not being considered as Associates.
(ii) The Group is continuing with its focus on simplifying the corporate structure which saw a significant number of entities
enter into voluntary liquidation in the previous and current year. There remains an objective to simplify the structure
further by dissolving additional entities which are either dormant or have ceased to have business operations.
