India initiates anti-dumping probe into electrical steel imports from China, Japan, Korea, Russia
Jun-24-2026

India has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into imports of Cold Rolled Grain Oriented (CRGO) Electrical Steel and Amorphous Metal from China, Japan, South Korea and Russia. The investigation was initiated after JSW JFE Electrical Steel Nashik filed a petition to the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), which alleged that low-priced imports are causing significant injury to the domestic industry.

The DGTR said 'on the basis of the duly substantiated written application submitted by the applicant and having reached satisfaction based on the prima facie evidence submitted by the applicant concerning dumping of the product...the authority hereby initiates an anti-dumping investigation.' In the probe, the directorate would determine the existence, degree and effect of the alleged dumping of the chemical exported from China and Japan. If it is established that the dumping has caused material injury to domestic players, the DGTR would recommend the imposition of the levy on imports. The finance ministry takes the final decision to impose these duties.

The products under investigation are primarily used in manufacture of power/distribution transformer cores. Both materials are used by the same consumer industries - transformer manufacturers supplying to utilities, industrial users, and renewable power projects. The product is primarily used as an intermediate in the manufacture of tyre and rubber products and in resin bonding applications. It is also used in the manufacture of specialised wood adhesive resins, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic preparations.
