Tata Steel’s share price started the fresh week in the green, making gains for the fourth straight session on Monday.
What Happened: Shares of the Tata Group company are upbeat today as the company late last week confirmed the much-anticipated agreement with the UK government.

This investment package includes a grant of up to £500 million (₹5,150 crore) provided by the UK government.
This initiative is projected to result in a reduction of 50 million tonnes in direct emissions over the course of a decade, the company said in a statement. The company also announced plans to allocate an investment of around £20 million (₹205 crore) over a span of four years to establish two new Centers of Innovation & Technology in the United Kingdom.
