STEEL SECTOR FROM INDIA WANTS CHINESE TAIPEI TO WITHDRAW ANTI-DUMPING PROBE

Steel producers from India have asked the Commerce Ministry to convince Chinese Taipei to withdraw the anti-dumping investigation launched recently on certain carbon steel plates from India.

“The Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) wants the government to intervene and take up the anti-dumping issue with Chinese Taipei as it believes that India’s exports of the item to the country is not high enough to make a difference to local producers,” a government official told BusinessLine.

The International Trade Commission (ITC) of Chinese Taipei, on February 24, initiated an anti-dumping investigation on imports of carbon steel plate, including other flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, from Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Republic of Korea and Ukraine.
