Tata Steel's Dutch subsidiaries are facing a collective action lawsuit seeking approximately 1.4 to 1.6 billion euros in damages. The lawsuit, filed by Dutch NGO Stichting Frisse Wind (SFW), alleges harm to residents near its Velsen-Noord operations due to hazardous emissions, citing increased health risks and reduced home values. Tata Steel denies the claims, calling them unsubstantiated and speculative, and states it is prepared to defend itself against the proceedings.
