Reuters reported that a spokesman for Tata Steel has clarified that the deal to import coal from Russia was made before the company's announcement to cut business ties with Russia, without providing further details. He informed Reuters “There has been no other PCI Coal purchase by Tata Steel from Russia after the announcement.”Reports have emerged that Tata Steel imported about 75,000 tonnes of PCI coal through Panamax Ostria from from Russia's Vanino port in the second half of May, out of which 42,000 tonnes were offloaded in a port in Paradip on May 18 and 32,500 tonnes in Haldia.Tata Steel had said in April all its manufacturing sites in India, the UK and the Netherlands had sourced alternative supplies of raw materials to end its dependence on Russia as a conscious decision to stop doing business with Russia.
