Tata Steel Pushes for Safeguard Duties on Imports Amid Rising U.S. Tariffs

Tata Steel, one of India’s leading steel manufacturers, has called for the implementation of safeguard duties on steel imports to protect the domestic industry from a potential flood of cheap foreign steel. This move comes in response to the recent increase in U.S. tariffs on imported steel, which could lead to excess supply in global markets and put Indian steel producers at risk.

Why Tata Steel is Advocating for Safeguard Duties

T.V. Narendran, Managing Director of Tata Steel, emphasized that several countries, including Vietnam and South Korea, have already taken steps to curb the impact of cheap steel imports by imposing anti-dumping duties. He highlighted the need for India to adopt similar measures to safeguard its domestic steel sector, which is vital for the country’s infrastructure and economic growth.

The Indian Steel Association (ISA) has also voiced concerns over the impact of U.S. tariffs, warning that the restrictions could result in a surplus of steel in India’s domestic market. If left unchecked, this could lead to declining steel prices and increased competition for local manufacturers.

Impact of U.S. Tariffs on Indian Steel Industry

The U.S. has recently imposed additional tariffs of 25% on steel imports, aimed at protecting its own industry from foreign competition. However, this move has had a ripple effect on the global steel market, forcing exporting nations to look for alternative buyers. India, as a major steel-producing country, could face an influx of cheap imports, primarily from China, posing a threat to its local steelmakers.

The Indian government is currently evaluating the imposition of a temporary safeguard duty, ranging between 15% and 25%, on steel imports. Such a measure would help curb the dumping of low-cost steel and provide relief to domestic manufacturers. However, experts caution that existing Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with key countries may limit the effectiveness of these duties.
