New Delhi – The Alloy Steel Producers Association of India (ASPA) has petitioned the Directorate General of Trade Remedies to impose anti-dumping (AD) duties on imports of alloy steel wire rods from China.
ASPA’s members include JSW Steel, Jindal Steel, Kalyani Steels, and Mukand Sumi Special Steels Limited. The association claims Chinese suppliers are selling at significantly low prices, leading to a surge in imports over the past three years.
India’s domestic production capacity for alloy steel wire rods is 18–20 million metric tons annually. ASPA warns that the influx of cheap imports is causing financial harm to domestic producers.
"China is selling wire rods of alloy steel at very low prices, and imports have gone up considerably in the last three years, causing injury to domestic producers," ASPA director general Anil Dhawan said.
If approved, the duty would aim to protect India’s domestic steel industry and maintain fair competition.
