Tata Steel Granted Interim Relief in Rs 1,755 Crore Jharkhand Coal Mining Demand Case
Tata Steel has received interim relief from a Rs 1,755 crore demand by Jharkhand authorities over alleged excess coal extraction at its West Bokaro Colliery between FY2000-01 and FY2006-07. The Ministry of Coal's Revisional Authority admitted Tata Steel's revision application challenging the demand and directed state officials not to take coercive action during the case's pendency. Tata Steel disputes the demand, calling it unjustified. Despite this relief, the company's shares fell slightly in early trading.
