Tata Steel, however, had made an open offer last year that raised its holding in Tinplate to 73.45%.

The open offer made last year was for acquiring 14% stake in Tinplate and 11.26% stake in Tata Sponge.

Chatterjee said Tinplate would focus on consolidation after it made substantial capital expenditure in the recent past.
