Tata Steel Limited, a major steel producer in India, has been issued a demand notice amounting to ₹1,755.10 crore (about $189 million) by the District Mining Office in Ramgarh, Jharkhand. This notice pertains to allegations of excess coal extraction from the company's West Bokaro Colliery during the period from FY2000-01 to FY2006-07. The notice, dated March 30, 2026, claims that Tata Steel extracted around 1.62 million metric tonnes of coal beyond permissible limits. The basis for this demand is similar to the issues raised in the Supreme Court case of Common Cause vs. Union of India regarding illegal mining practices. Tata Steel has publicly stated its disagreement with the allegations, asserting that the demand lacks justification and substantive basis. The company plans to challenge the notice through appropriate legal channels, ensuring compliance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) Regulations, 2015.
