India Proposes Anti-Dumping Duty on Chinese Steel Imports
India is trying to make sure trade with China is fair.
They're looking at special taxes, called anti-dumping duties, on electrical steel from China.
This means Chinese companies might be selling steel in India for prices that are too low, which hurts Indian companies.
The government agency DGTR has recommended these duties.
The duties could last for five years and will vary depending on the company.
The Finance Ministry will make the final decision.
This is happening because India has a big trade gap with China and wants to protect its own businesses.
DGTR recommends anti-dumping duty on Chinese electrical steel imports.
Duty is proposed to last for five years.
The duty amount varies between USD 223.82 and USD 414.92 per tonne.
The Finance Ministry will make the final decision on the duty.
The move aims to address a large trade deficit with China.
