Because Brexit has yet to happen.

Are you saying Brexit will not happen within 10 years. The merge with Thyssen Krupp is not certain. The Plan to commit to UK Steel is. (I don't suppose you have been following the daily reports on the sacking of Cyrus Mistry---for not following the ethos of the Tata family.) |

No one knows what brexit will mean and one thing you can be sure off companies like Tata will be insuring that either the UK retains tarrif free access to the EU or the UK government if it wants them to stay and invest in the UK provides support to offset any tarrifs imposed by the EU. Tata is a business not a charity. I think the UK government should support keeping PT Talbot open, the UK needs heavy industry and steel production. |

Tata is a business not a charity, its time you opened your eyes to the real world. It exists to make profit, pure and simple. |

Set to commit to UK Steel for next decade.
(Not worried about Brexit!) https://www.theguardian.com/business...el-next-decade (Sorry it's the Guardian, better article in Sunday Times but couldn't get a link). Indian company’s move could secure 11,000 jobs and includes stopping the sale of its speciality steels arm Tata is preparing to commit to its UK steel operations, including the vast Port Talbot works, for at least the next 10 years, in a move which would secure the future of more than 11,000 steel workers and deliver a major boost to the government. Lord Bhattacharyya, one of the group’s closest advisers, said Tata is preparing “major announcements about growth in Tata Steel” Bhattacharyya was talking at a meeting of political and automotive leaders from the Midlands on Thursday evening

Anil Singhvi, Ican Investment Advisors asked how does a huge company like Tata Steel suddenly remove its Chairman and how does OP Bhatt have the experience to run a steel company? Mistry Slams Move "We believe that this unprecedented erosion of core Tata Values, is seriously damaging Brand Tata. Each time one thinks the current standard of corporate governance in Tata Group listed companies under the leadership of the Interim Chairman cannot hit a newer low

Investment in the UK is the aim. (You are also forgetting the philanthropy ethos of Tata! They were advised against buying Corus in the first place and have lost money all along) Earlier this week, Mistry said Ratan Tata decided to buy Corus for more than $12 billion, despite reservations of some board members and senior executives. |

Ah, I see. No. It's a 'could be', not a 'will be'. Theyu're probably waiting for 'assurances from the government like Nissan's. Tata Steel replaces Cyrus Mistry with OP Bhatt as interim chairman Sounds to me that it's more like a boardroom coup. Definitely. The Tata family are Parsis and committed to philanthropy. (Something like the Cadbury family), one of their original ventures the entire profit goes to charity, they protect their workers. They are unlikely to go through with a sale. Cyrus Mistry has been said to not follow this ethos. May be more to it who knows--this has been filling Indian newspapers for some time. O P Bhatt is an ex Chairman of the State Bank of India. It is an interim appointment. |

Did you really read and understand the Sunday Tkmes article, was philanthropy mentioned once . However, you have implied that you have expert knowledge of all Indian affairs, so you would have known the history of the family business, founded in the 19th century. You will have followed their business dealings and charities over the decades. (The founder is buried in the UK). |

When is the Mittal famiky going to turn over their multi million pound homes in London to the homeless, if they are such a charitable family. |

We were discussing the Tata family and UK Steel. |

I posted the link as something positive regarding the next ten years, surely most of those years Post Brexit, the title of the thread. You followed with your usual negativity, and also posts from another poster who like yourself were obviously unaware of the Tata family history, I was just adding to your knowledge. I agree that the workers of Port Talbot are only interested in their jobs, the point is that now Ratan Tata has taken back control they are likely to keep them. |
