India has imposed a three-year safeguard duty of 11–12% on select steel products to curb a surge in low-priced imports, with the measure aimed primarily at shipments from China. The duty is set at 12% in year one, easing to 11.5% in year two and 11% in year three, as notified through the official government gazette.
The order exempts certain developing countries, but China, Vietnam and Nepal will remain subject to the levy. The safeguard duty will also not apply to specialty steel products such as stainless steel, according to the notification.
India’s trade remedy body, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), recommended the measure after concluding there was a “sudden, sharp and significant” rise in imports that was causing or threatening serious injury to domestic producers.The move follows a prior 12% temporary safeguard duty for 200 days that was imposed in April 2025 and expired in November 2025.
