India's steel industry seeks government protection against rising Chinese imports post-US tariffs.

India's steel industry is seeking protection from potential surges in imports, especially from China, following the US's imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminum. AMNS India and other industry players are urging the government to impose a safeguard duty of around 25% to protect domestic producers. The DGTR has recommended a 12% provisional duty, but the finance ministry is considering a higher rate. India's steel imports from China have risen, posing a "serious challenge" to local producers.
