Tata Steel shares climbed over 3% in early trade after reports that the European Union (EU) plans to introduce new measures to protect its steel industry from global overcapacity and low-priced imports.

The EU’s proposed policy aims to strengthen safeguards against a surge in cheap steel, particularly from China, India, and Turkey, which has been putting pressure on European producers. The move is expected to stabilize steel prices and improve the outlook for companies with significant operations in Europe, including Tata Steel Europe.

Market analysts said investor sentiment turned positive as the policy could help improve profitability at Tata Steel’s European arm, which has been under strain due to weak demand and cost challenges.

The company’s stock rose over 3% on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to touch ₹182.50, while trading volumes also increased significantly.

Experts noted that stronger trade protection measures by the EU could support Tata Steel’s margins and aid in balancing global steel supply dynamics. The broader Nifty Metal index also gained nearly 2%, led by Tata Steel and JSW Steel.
