Tata Steel is looking to have a discussion with the UK government to discuss issues being faced in timely implementation of the electric arc furnace (EAF) project at Port Talbot, the company's CEO T V Narendran said. The company official noted that there is no delay from Tata Steel in construction of 3.2 million tonne project being set up at an investment of 1.25 billion pounds. "We are in conversation with the UK government to say let's have a discussion on what can be done," Narendran told PTI on the sidelines of the 53rd National Management Convention organised by All India Management Association (AIMA). He made the remarks while replying to a question on the future course of action for the UK project, which is facing delays in securing power supply. In August, Narendran had said Tata Steel UK is expecting to secure access to electricity for its 3.2 million tonne electric arc furnace by 2029.

Global steel major Tata Steel is scaling up artificial intelligence, connected workforce systems and remote operations to make industrial safety more predictive, with the company already using more than 10,000 CCTV cameras and AI-enabled surveillance to identify unsafe behaviour and intervene before accidents occur, a top official said on Friday. "Most people use CCTVs for post-mortem after an incident. We want to do it proactively -- to prevent accidents.

As part of its decarbonisation plan, the steel major is setting up the UK's largest low-carbon EAF (electric arc furnace) project at Port Talbot replacing the non-operational blast furnace plant of similar capacity with an investment of 1.25 billion pounds. In a virtual interaction, Narendran, who is also the MD of Tata Steel, said the project is on track and will be ready by 2028. But the power supply may start in 2029. Talks are underway with National Grid -- the power supplier -- to work out solutions if the power supply can start early as Tata Steel UK (TSUK) will have to conduct trials before operationalising the project. "We are working with the power supplier to see if can we get some power supply before, because they are building the infrastructure. So if we can ge
