Tata Steel gets relief in ₹1,755 cr coal mining case
New Delhi: Tata Steel has received temporary relief in a legal battle involving a Rs 1,755 crore demand from the Jharkhand government, following a decision by the Revisional Authority under the Ministry of Coal. The company was directed not to take any aggressive measures against Tata Steel while it appeals the demand. The dispute centers around alleged overextraction of coal from Tata Steel's West Bokaro Colliery in Jharkhand between FY2000-01 and FY2006-07.
The District Mining Office (DMO) in Ramgarh had issued a demand notice on March 30, 2026, asking for Rs 1,755.10 crore from the company. Tata Steel contested the demand, arguing that it lacks justification and support. The Revisional Authority heard Tata Steel's application on August 20 and gave its order on August 24, admitting the revision application for consideration.
The respondents have been instructed not to enforce the demand until the revision proceedings conclude.
