India probes unfair pricing of steel from China, Indonesia, Vietnam to protect local industry.

India has launched an anti-dumping investigation into cold rolled flat steel products from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam after domestic producers claimed unfair pricing harmed local industry. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies is assessing whether imports are sold below fair value and causing material injury, with a preliminary report expected soon. If confirmed, anti-dumping duties could be imposed, subject to final approval by the finance ministry. The move is part of India’s efforts to protect domestic manufacturers under WTO rules, following similar probes into other imported goods.
