“Tata Steel UK has received confirmation from The Pensions Regulator that it has approved a Regulated Apportionment Arrangement (RAA) in respect of the British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS). The BSPS has now been separated from Tata Steel UK and a number of affiliated companies,” Tata Steel said in a news release.

“Tata Steel is now reaping benefits from increased domestic capacity and persistently strong profitability in both India and Europe. A potential JV with ThyssenKrupp in Europe should aid further deleveraging,” analysts at HDFC Securities said in Q1FY18 results review.

In past four months, the stock has outperformed the market by surging 57% as compared to 6% rise in the S&P BSE Sensex.
