Indian Steelmakers Seek Export Tariff on Low-Grade Ore
Indian steelmakers are advocating for an export tariff on low-grade iron ore pellets. The Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) and other major players are pushing for the implementation of this tariff to curb the export of lower-grade iron ore, which they argue is undermining the domestic market. The proposed tariff aims to ensure that the raw materials stay within the country, boosting local production and stabilizing prices. This move comes in response to concerns over the adverse effects of dumping and its impact on the steel industry.
Key points include the industry's push for protectionism, concerns over price stability, and the impact on domestic steel production. The steelmakers argue that the export of low-grade iron ore pellets affects their profitability and the overall health of the industry. They hope the tariff will promote better utilization of domestic resources and support the local steel sector against international competition.
