Tata Disputes Former Chairman's Charge That Company Paid Too Much for Corus

In the latest volley, Mistry contends that Tata overpaid for the former Corus, making it much more difficult to invest in the business. Tata acquired the Anglo-Dutch steelmaker in 2007. 

The company fired back, saying that the Corus acquisition was part of a long-term strategy to grow through international expansion.

"The performance of Corus Plc post-acquisition validated the strategy till the black swan event of the global financial crisis structurally impacted the underlying demand conditions in Europe causing financial hardship to the entire industry," the company said.
