Stainless Steel Makers Seek Anti-Dumping Duty on Imports

The Indian stainless steel industry has petitioned the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) to impose anti-dumping duties on low-cost imports that are challenging domestic producers, Jindal Stainless Managing Director Abhyuday Jindal has said.
The Indian Stainless Steel Development Association (ISSDA), representing the sector, has filed the application to investigate alleged dumping of stainless steel products from a group of countries into the Indian market. The DGTR, part of the Ministry of Commerce, is responsible for administering trade remedial measures such as anti-dumping, countervailing duties, and safeguard actions.
Jindal said the application was submitted at the end of June, adding that DGTR typically takes two to three months to commence an investigation.
When asked if such duties were urgent given global trade uncertainties and recent US tariff actions, Jindal replied, “Definitely. For a long time, we have been facing substandard dumped material from countries like China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Given current global trade uncertainties, it is essential to protect our borders and support homegrown companies. The urgency is also because India is the market where growth is happening.”
India’s stainless steel imports reached 1.73 million tonnes in FY25, with China, Indonesia, Vietnam, and South Korea accounting for the bulk of shipments, according to market research firm BigMint.
