These are Tata Steel Long Products, The Tinplate Company of India, Tata Metaliks, TRF, The Indian Steel&Wire Products, Tata Steel Mining Limited and S&T Mining Company.
Each merger plan will now proceed through a clear regulatory approval procedure, which includes approval from stock exchanges and the NCLT (National Corporate Law Tribunal).
