AI summary

Tata Steel had paid Rs 2,970 crore to JPC towards Steel Development Fund loans during FY2026, without giving up its legal challenge. Calcutta High Court on Sept 17, 2026 has ordered that this amount cannot be used or disbursed to third parties until Tata Steel's appeal is decided. Background: company sought SDF loan waiver in parity with SAIL; single bench rejected writ petition in May 2024.

Likely market impact

Positive for shareholders: court has protected Rs 2,970 crore deposit from disbursement while SDF loan appeal remains pending.
