Tata Steel UK CEO Bimlendra Jha has resigned from the post, a source said.
“Bimlendra Jha, the CEO of Tata Steel UK, has resigned. Ashish Anupam of NatSteel Holdings will be looking after the business,” the source said.
The source, however, did not divulge information about the reason for the resignation.
An email query sent to Tata Steel seeking comment remained unanswered.
Tata Steel is in the process of merging its European operations with German steel major Thyssenkrupp AG to create a 50-50 joint venture. The proposed new company will be positioned as a leading pan-European high-quality flat steel producer with a strong focus on performance, quality and technology leadership.
In October 2018, the EU launched an “in-depth investigation” to assess if the joint venture would breach the bloc’s merger regulations and reduce competition.
