Jindal-Thyssenkrupp deal at risk over pension, investments: Report

Discussions about the potential acquisition of Thyssenkrupp's steel unit by Jindal Steel International could be called off due to differences over energy costs, pension liabilities, and investments, Reuters reported. Discussions may result in an agreement, but a deal is now less likely. Thyssenkrupp tried selling its steel unit several times, via listings, spinoffs, JVs and even outright sales.
