China, Japan and South Korea accounted for 79% of India's total finished steel imports during the period. Hot-rolled coils were the most imported steel product during the period, while bars and rods topped imports in the non-flat product category. New Delhi has launched a probe to determine whether to impose a safeguard duty - a temporary tax - of up to 25% to curb unbridled steel imports. India became a net steel importer in the financial year that ended in March 2024, and imports have steadily increased since then. The flood of cheap Chinese steel has pushed India's smaller mills to scale down operations and consider job cuts, as New Delhi joins a growing list of countries contemplating measures to curb imports. Unlike other major economies, India's steel demand has remained strong, thanks to robust economic growth and the launch of new infrastructure projects. Finished steel exports during April-November fell to an eight-year low, the data showed. Italy was the largest export market for India's finished steel, but shipments fell 31.8% year-on-year. Finished steel exports to Britain and Belgium rose by 16% and 6.9% respectively, the data showed. Nominations for ET MSME Awards are now open. The last day to apply is December 15, 2024.
