The Italian government is preparing to launch a new tender in early September for the sale of the Acciaierie d'Italia steelworks (formerly Ilva) in Taranto, following evaluations of ongoing bids from potential investors. Industrial groups, including India's Jindal Steel, have submitted proposals targeting the complete acquisition of the complex's hot and cold production assets. The upcoming government summit at the Palazzo Chigi will decide the facility's future, weighing trade union demands against the necessary capital required to fully decarbonize and restart the idled blast furnaces.
