Tata Steel said it is closely tracking policy and regulatory developments in the European Union and the United Kingdom as it evaluates the timing and scale of its decarbonisation investments in both markets.

The company noted that any major green-capex decision including the planned shift to electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking in the UK must align with clarity on government support, carbon-cost frameworks, and long-term competitiveness.

Tata Steel’s UK operations continue to face earnings pressure due to soft steel prices and the phased closure of older blast-furnace assets. In contrast, the company said its Netherlands business has shown improved EBITDA, supported by a better product mix and early progress on green-steel initiatives.

The steelmaker reiterated its commitment to low-carbon steelmaking but emphasised that decarbonisation spending must be prioritised and optimised to ensure affordability and value creation for stakeholders.

The company added that future investments will be calibrated to evolving policies, including the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the UK’s upcoming industrial-transition frameworks.
