India telecoms corruption probe questioning begins. 4 April 2011Last updated at 13:56 GMT Ratan Tata is one of the most influential businessmen in India An Indian parliamentary panel has begun questioning business leaders on the controversial award of telecoms licences in 2008. Industrialist Ratan Tata was quizzed in a closed session in connection with the alleged irregularities. Reliance's Anil Ambani is due to be questioned tomorrow. Police say that when India issued 122 new telecoms licences in 2008, several rules were violated and bribes were paid to favour certain firms. Several of the licences were issued to firms with no experience in the telecoms sector in a process described by an auditor's report as lacking transparency and "undertaken in an arbitrary, unfair and inequitable manner". Mr Tata was questioned about a subsidiary company's involvement in bidding for the licences.
Correspondents say this could prove to be India's biggest ever corruption scandal. Damaged credibility He denies any wrongdoing.

Tata said it was committed to investments of £240m on projects but it could not be more specific about further investment at this stage. The company said the investment had not been announced before and was an "expression of intention and vision for Port Talbot and the steel industry in Wales". The company later said in the "near term" £185m would be spent on rebuilding the Number Four blast furnace at Port Talbot, work on which is scheduled to start in June.
"This is in itself a substantial vote of confidence in Welsh steelmaking," said the company in a statement.

Dinsdag was Tata te gast bij de Universiteit van Amsterdam In Nederland kennen we Ratan Tata vooral als eigenaar van Tata Steel, de voormalige Hoogovens, maar in India is hij de belangrijkste meneer in het zakenleven.
Zijn Tata Group is daar alom vertegenwoordigd en verkoopt van alles, van televisies tot verzekeringen, van de goedkoopste auto ter wereld, de Tata Nano tot de duurste Jaguar en Land Rover’s. Deze week was hij even in Nederland om bij de Universiteit van Amsterdam een eredoctoraat op te halen (waarop in De Volkskrant overigens harde kritiek werd geuit). Op naar 500 Miljard Ratan Tata bouwde de Tata groep uit tot een indrukkend conglomeraat van meer dan driehonderd bedrijven, waarvan er veertig beursgenoteerd zijn.

Organisatie1 februari 2013 16:50 |Ook het vervolgonderzoek naar de oorzaak van de ziekteverschijnselen van 230 hoogleraren en hun partners na een borrel en diner op 8 januari, heeft geen verdere informatie opgeleverd. Dat meldt de GGD vandaag op haar website. Het standaard laboratoriumonderzoek naar de feces van de hoogleraren heeft geen ziekteverwekker van de uitbraak kunnen aantonen. Ook de Nederlandse Voedsel- en Warenautoriteit (NVWA) heeft geen boosdoener kunnen vinden in de resten van het diner. Voor zowel de menselijke als de voedselmonsters is afgelopen week door de GGD een vervolgonderzoek ingezet naar ziekteverwekkers die niet binnen de routine-onderzoeken vallen.
Dit heeft echter niet tot nieuwe inzichten geleid. De borrel en het diner waarna de hoogleraren ziek werden, maakten deel uit van de jaarlijkse diesviering van de UvA. Tata Steel boss draws criticism for attack on British "work ethic" Unions have fought back as Indian tycoon Ratan Tata questioned the commitment of Welsh steel workers. The 73-year-old owner of Tata Steel, which runs the Corus plant in Port Talbot, launched the attack on the “work ethic” of bosses at steel maker Corus, which he bought in 2006. Tata, who is a member of Prime Minister David Cameron’s Business Advisory Group and co-chairman of the UK-India CEO Forum, also made the comments about Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) which he bought in 2008.
This week Tata Steel proposed to close or mothball part of its Scunthorpe plant – putting at risk 1,200 jobs. The plans would also see 300 jobs lost at its Teesside site. Tata said: “It’s a work-ethic issue. In my experience, in both Corus and JLR, nobody is willing to go the extra mile, nobody. “I feel if you have come from Bombay to have a meeting and the meeting goes till 6pm, I would expect that you won’t, at 5 o’clock, say, ’Sorry, I have my train to catch.
