【London】Tata Steel Long Products Europe business on the 20th of October said it has decided to stop producing steel plates, because of increasing imports of cheap steel from China, a stronger pound and high electricity costs.
　The decision would lead to about 1200 job losses at the unit. Instead, the company would be focusing on higher-value markets with a focus on developing stronger and lighter products for its customers, it said. Bimlendra Jha, executive chairman of the standalone Long Products Europe business said in a statement that the Tuesday’s move is the next step in reshaping its business “to give it the best chance of survival in this fiercely-competitive global marketplace.”

　Tata Steel is yet to secure land acquisition approvals for inter-connectivity for its own water supply to the plant scheduled to be commissioned by December. "Tata Steel will receive water from Nilachal Ispat from November 1 for a period of one year," an executive at Nilachal Ispat told Business Standard.
