India initiates anti-dumping investigation into steel imports from China, Japan, Russia

New Delhi: India has initiated an anti-dumping probe against cheap imports of certain hot rolled steel goods from China, Japan and Russia, following an application by JSW Steel Ltd, JSW Vijayanagar Metallics Ltd and Jindal Steel Odisha Ltd, the commerce and industry ministry said in a notification.

The applicants had alleged that "hot rolled flat products of alloy or non-alloy steel" exported from China, Japan and Russia are being imported at dumped prices, which is causing material injury to the domestic industry.

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), an arm of the ministry, will investigate "the existence, degree and effect of the dumping". It will consider import data from 2022 to 2025 for the probe.
