Tata Steel Ltd. has entered exclusive talks with Greybull Capital LLP to sell its European long-products steel business.

The agreement covers its Scunthorpe steelworks in England, as well as mills in Teesside and northern France, the Indian company’s U.K. subsidiary said in a statement Tuesday. Tata said it’s too early to know the outcome of the negotiations.
