Tata Steel prepares for blue-collar job transitions as iron ore lease expiry nears

Sanyal outlined three possible scenarios for the workforce, depending on the outcome of mandatory auctions for mines under the amended Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act. If Tata Steel retains the leases, it will have “no impact on workers”. If he cannot secure these, they will be transferred to the new tenant “as many as the number of workers in the mines”. In the third scenario, it is stated that “only some mines will be retained and some of the workers will continue to work in the company.”
