Tata Steel's European arm Corus today said it is open to dialogue for strategic tie-ups with investors having sound financials to rescue its recently mothballed Teesside Cast Products (TCP) plant in England.
To keep operations at TCP alive, Corus has been channelising internal orders to the TCP which was also getting some demand from outside.
Fresh from his visit to India in the last week of July, Britain's Business Secretary (minister) said he was hopeful a buyer would be found for Tata Steel-owned Corus' Teesside Cast Products plant in the northeast of this country.
Tata Steel Vice-Chairman B Muthuraman has asked a member of British Parliament not to be "over-critical" about the company's strategy in dealing with problems in Corus.
Dispute relates to premature termination of a deal to buy TCP steel
