Tata Steel Warns UK Jobs at Risk from India-UK FTA

Tata Steel Warns UK Jobs at Risk from India-UK FTA

Tata Steel, a big company that makes steel, is worried about its factories in the UK.

They say a new trade deal between India and the UK might make it hard for them to keep making steel in the UK because India can now send more steel to the UK without paying extra taxes.

This could mean fewer jobs for people in the UK who work in steel factories.

But the UK government thinks the trade deal will help both countries make more money and create new jobs in other areas.

Some people in India think the deal will create a lot of jobs there too.

So, while Tata Steel is worried, others are hopeful about the good things the trade deal might bring.
