  India's Other Steel Giant Looks Abroad - Forbes.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Tata Steel, part of the sprawling Tata conglomerate whose interests include cars, telecommunications, software consulting, hotels and consumer goods, said Thursday it was considering a bid for Anglo-Dutch rival Corus (nyse: CGA - news - people), illustrating the pressure the steel industry feels to consolidate.
Tata stressed that a bid for Corus, which was formed in 1999 through the merger of British Steel and Hoogovens, was only one of the options it was considering and there was no certainty an approach would be forthcoming.
Tata said a year ago that he was now looking at opportunities to invest in steel companies in developed countries, "but we are making sure that we have secure access to raw materials because I really believe that owners of iron ore are going to rule the industry.

 Tata Steel's bid ambitious but plausible: UK media
Although Tata Steel is considered to be a "smaller Indian rival", (its size is one-fourth of Corus), the news of the possibility of a foreigner tightening its hold on the European steel market has gone down well, contrary to the Mittal-Arcelor deal that got entangled in crossborder politics.
Though Tata and other Indian steel producers are planning dramatic increases in capacity over the next five to ten years, there is a short-term need for large quantities of imported steel, particularly at the added-value end of the market which Corus specialises in, the paper says.
Tata Steel, by contrast, is a minnow with production from its one site in Jamshedpur last year of 5m tonnes, making it the 55th biggest steelmaker in the world, according to international rankings.

Tata chairman Ratan Tata, who flew into London on Thursday night and is understood to have left British shores late on Friday, has made no comment so far on the unexpected interruption to his plans to complete the Corus takeover in January.
Steel industry experts said that if CSN decides to formally make a pounds 4.3-billion takeover offer for Corus next week, then Tata Steel would be forced to up its own pounds 4.1-billion bid to acquire the European company and complete its dreams of creating the world's fifth-largest steel producer.
Steel sector pundits said the market was unlikely to lose the irony of CSN's approach, just four years after Corus made a pounds 2.7 billion bid for the Brazilian company.
