Indian steelmakers are pushing for an export tariff on low-quality iron ore pellets. The Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) and other major players are pushing for the imposition of the tariff to curb the export of low-quality iron ore, which they claim is undermining the domestic market. The proposed tariff is aimed at keeping the raw material in the country, boosting local production and stabilizing prices. The move comes in response to concerns over the negative effects of dumping and its impact on the steel industry.
Key issues include the industry’s push for protectionism, concerns about price stability and the impact on domestic steel production. Steelmakers say the export of low-quality iron ore pellets is affecting their profitability and the overall health of the industry. They hope the tariff will encourage better use of domestic resources and bolster the local steel sector against international competition.
