Particulars

Details

1.

Name of the target entity, details in brief such as size, turnover etc.

Tata Steel IJmuiden B.V. ('TSIJ') is an indirect wholly owned foreign subsidiary of Tata Steel Limited ('Company') incorporated in the Netherlands, Europe.

 

The Velsen Power Plants (VN24, VN25 and IJmond01) of Vattenfall Power Generation Netherlands B.V. ('Vattenfall'), processes and converts gases arising from TSIJ's works into electricity. The electricity is supplied back to TSIJ, under a tolling contract.

 

TSIJ has expressed interest in acquiring these Velsen Power Plants and hence, it has been agreed that Vattenfall will demerge its Velsen Power Plants to a newly incorporated entity and TSIJ would acquire equity stake in the new entity.

 

Accordingly, LAG Velsen B.V. is proposed to be incorporated by Vattenfall for the purpose of this transaction and the Velsen Power Plants having a total electric capacity of 770 megawatts will be transferred to LAG Velsen B.V.

 

Financial Performance of the Target Entity: LAG Velsen B.V. is yet to commence operations. Turnover (for demerged assets only) for CY 2024 is €110.8m. This is predominantly the fee related to the tolling contract plus ancillary income for any excess electricity sold to third parties.

 

2.

Whether the acquisition would fall within         related party transaction(s) and whether the promoter/ promoter group/ group companies have any interest in                  the entity being acquired? If yes, nature of interest and details thereof and whether the same is done at "arm's length"

No

4.

Objects and impact of acquisition (including but not limited to, disclosure of                                 reasons for acquisition of target entity, if  its business is outside the main line of business of the listed entity)

With the acquisition of LAG Velsen B.V., TSIJ will acquire three power plants that are currently owned and operated by Vattenfall. The three power plants are mainly fueled by process gases from TSIJ's steel-production activities. The conversion of process gases into electricity and steam is governed by a tolling contract that will expire by December 31, 2025.  

 

As part of its corporate strategy, Vattenfall is not willing to extend the tolling contract beyond its current expiry date of December 31, 2025.

 

Tata Steel Nederland's operations require the power plants for the continued conversion of its process gases and are important for Tata Steel IJmuiden's operations.

 

Accordingly, on November 14, 2025, TSIJ has executed a Share Purchase Agreement with Vattenfall, for acquisition of 100% equity stake in LAG Velsen B.V., an entity which will be incorporated for execution of the proposed transaction, at an agreed purchase price of up to €140 million (~₹1,450 crore).

5.

Brief details of any governmental or regulatory approvals required for the acquisition                                                               

Competition approval: Since certain quantitative merger-control thresholds are met, the transaction requires approval from the Netherlands competition regulator - The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). 

 

Approval under the Dutch Electricity Act: Given the nature of the power plants that will be acquired as a result of the transaction, the transaction is subject to approval from the Netherlands Investment Screening Agency, the Bureau Toetsing Investeringen (BTI)

6.
