Why Tata Steel Share Price Is Rising

Moving on to news from the steel sector, shares of Tata Steel gained over 1% on 26 December after the steel major announced on 23 December that it will hold a meeting for shareholders on 25 January to review the scheme of amalgamation with Indian Steel & Wire Products.

In 2022, the Tata Steel board approved a proposal to merge seven of its subsidiaries into itself for greater synergies, higher efficiency and reduced costs.

The seven subsidiaries to be merged with Tata Steel are Tata Steel Long Products (TSPL), The Tinplate Company of India, Tata Metaliks, TRF, Indian Steel & Wire Products, Angul Energy, and Tata Steel Mining and S&T Mining Company.

In line with group level 5S strategy - simplification, synergy, scale, sustainability, and speed - the proposed amalgamation will simplify the group holding structure by eliminating multiple companies within the group.

It is expected to lead to better utilisation of common facilities, sharing of best practices, elimination of duplication and multiplicity of compliance requirements and rationalisation of administrative expenses among other things.

The resulting corporate holding structure is expected to bring enhanced agility to the business ecosystem of the merged entity.
