Steel Ministry Asks Finance Ministry to Increase Customs Duty

The Ministry of Steel has urged the Ministry of Finance to increase the basic Customs duty on imported finished steel products from 7.5% to 15% in the upcoming Union Budget for 2025–26.

According to official data, the share of imports from China grew to 32% in the current financial year. (Business Standard)
