Tata Steel Managing Director T.V. Narendran says the recovery in China has been disappointing, but that the worst for steel prices seems to be over. He points out that steel consumption in India is fairly strong, driven in particular by the automotive industry, and fairly weak in Europe, but says he expects an improvement. Finally, he outlines the Group's ambitions in terms of production capacity, the transition to hydrogen and debt reduction.
