The transition to Electric Arc Furnaces is not only expected to secure 5,000 jobs but also contribute to environmental sustainability. Utilising renewable electricity could potentially reduce UK emissions by about 2%. Moreover, the project will receive substantial government support, with around ₹5,200 crore in subsidies offered by the Rishi Sunak-led administration.
Tata Steel aims to commence construction of the Electric Arc Furnace by August 2025, with plans to place orders for the furnace equipment by September. The company is also engaged in discussions with trade unions to finalise a memorandum of understanding regarding the future of the UK business and its impact on employees.
