India has raised concerns at the World Trade Organization over the UK’s planned steel safeguard measures, warning that the move could affect steel trade flows and market access. From July 1, 2026, the UK plans to cut tariff-free steel import quotas by 60%, while imports above the quota may face a 50% tariff.
The restrictions will apply to steel products that can be manufactured within the UK. India, along with Brazil, Turkiye, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, and Korea, has flagged concerns over the proposal. India’s iron, steel, and related product exports to the UK stood at USD 893.4 million in 2025-26, making the issue important for Indian exporters and the wider steel industry.
The UK has defended the measure as necessary to protect its steel sector from global overcapacity and safeguard domestic production. For India, the development could become a key trade issue as both countries move ahead with their economic partnership.
