INDIAN businessman Sanjeev Gupta's GFG Alliance has secured $465 million in working capital from US-based White Oak Global Advisors LLC and Greensill Capital UK Ltd for its steel business in Australia, the company said today (21). 

Gupta's GFG is building a steel business in Australia after it acquired the Whyalla steel plant in South Australia state in 2017. 

The London-headquartered GFG aims to produce 1.8 million tonnes of high-end steel a year in Australia, raising the output eventually to up to 10 million tonnes. 

“The execution of these facilities ... provides us with additional support to take full advantage of the growth opportunities that we currently see in the Australian domestic market,” GFG Alliance executive chairman Gupta said.

The new funds would be used in the usual business activities, including investments, working capital management and other expenses, a GFG spokeswoman said.

Volkswagen weighs biggest overhaul in its history with up to 100,000 job cuts

  • Volkswagen is reportedly considering cutting up to 100,000 jobs and closing four factories in Germany.
  • The proposed overhaul comes as the carmaker struggles with Chinese competition, US tariffs and slowing demand in Europe.
  • Labour unions and the German state of Lower Saxony have vowed to oppose the plans.

Volkswagen job cuts could reach 100,000, with the company also weighing the closure of four German factories in what could become the biggest restructuring in the history of the automotive industry.

According to people familiar with the matter, the proposals have already been shared with members of Volkswagen's supervisory board and are expected to be discussed at a meeting on July 9. If approved, the plans would significantly expand the company's existing restructuring programme and reshape one of Germany's largest employers.
