A fire broke out at Tata Steel UK's Port Talbot steelworks in Wales, prompting an emergency response from the Mid and West Wales Fire Service around 8 p.m. local time on Wednesday. The incident forced a temporary halt in operations at part of the site, although the overall impact on production remains unclear. All personnel were safely evacuated with no reported injuries. As of Thursday evening, emergency services were still controlling the affected section of the Cold Mill, hindering Tata Steel's ability to assess the fire's cause and damage extent. The company's share price fell by 2.6% to Rs. 205.01 as of 1:02 pm IST. The Hot Rolling Mill was paused as a precaution but is expected to resume shortly. Tata Steel is exploring options to minimize disruptions to customers while investigations are ongoing. This incident is not related to the demolition of a redundant gas holder earlier that day. Port Talbot is undergoing a major transition, moving towards a 3.2 million-tonne-per-year electric arc furnace by late 2027 or early 2028 as part of its decarbonisation strategy.
