Indian alloy producers seek measures against cheap imports from China.

India's Alloy Steel Producers Association (ASPA) has filed an anti-dumping (AD) petition with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry over a surge in low-cost alloy steel imports from China.

Submitted on July 31 to the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), the petition claims that cheap alloy steel imports are injuring the domestic industry.

India is the world’s second-largest crude steel producer and has an annual alloy steel production capacity of up to 20 million tons.

ASPA represents major manufacturers including JSW Steel, Jindal Steel, Kalyani Steels, and Mukand Sumi Special Steel.

Through the AD petition, ASPA wants action against alleged unfair trade practices.
