Tata Steel Limited has disclosed a significant litigation filed by Stichting Frisse Wind.nu (SFW) against two of its Dutch subsidiaries, Tata Steel Nederland B.V. and Tata Steel IJmuiden B.V. (collectively TSN). The lawsuit, initiated on December 19, 2025, was served via a writ of summons at the District Court North Holland, Haarlem. SFW claims to represent residents in the vicinity of TSN's operations in Velsen-Noord, alleging damages caused by emissions of hazardous substances. SFW is seeking approximately EUR 1.4 billion (approximately ₹12,700 crore) in compensation for increased health risks and diminished home values. TSN firmly denies these claims, stating that SFW has provided no supporting evidence and that the claim is unsubstantiated and speculative. TSN is prepared to vigorously defend itself, asserting substantial grounds for defense. The proceedings under the Dutch Act on Collective Settlement of Mass Claims (WAMCA) will occur in two phases: admissibility and merits, each expected to take 2 to 3 years. The quantum of claims is not anticipated to be debated in the immediate years. Tata Steel highlighted its ongoing investments and initiatives, including the Roadmap+ and Green Steel Plan, aimed at improving environmental performance and community well-being. TSN emphasized its commitment to reducing emissions, ranking among global leaders in CO2 efficiency, and continuous improvement beyond legal requirements. Given these efforts, TSN believes SFW's claim lacks merit. The company is currently reviewing the documents, consulting with legal counsel, and assessing potential implications. This disclosure is made in compliance with SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
