Tata Steel Limited has provided an update on two significant litigations concerning its Sukinda Chromite Block. The company received a Demand Letter on July 3, 2025, for ₹1902.73 crore related to a revised assessment of mineral dispatch shortfall for the 4th year, allegedly violating MCR 2016. In response, Tata Steel filed Writ Petition (Civil) No. 22431 of 2025 before the Hon'ble High Court of Orissa, seeking to quash this demand. The High Court granted interim protection, restraining coercive actions, which has been extended multiple times and is now valid until January 8, 2026.

A second Demand Letter was received on October 3, 2025, for ₹2410.90 crore, pertaining to a similar alleged shortfall for the 5th year. Tata Steel filed Writ Petition (Civil) No. 31035 of 2025 to challenge this demand as well. This petition also received interim protection, which was extended until January 8, 2026.

Most recently, both writ petitions were heard by the Hon'ble High Court, and based on order copies made available on January 12, 2026, the interim protection for both matters has been further extended until the next hearing scheduled for January 19, 2026. This disclosure is made in compliance with SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
