India Secures 2.8 Million Tonne Annual Steel Export Quota to European Union
India has secured a country-specific tariff-rate quota of 1.9 million tonnes annually for steel exports to the European Union, with expectations to gain an additional 0.9 million tonnes through residual quotas, totaling 2.8 million tonnes. This quota covers over 80% of India's steel exports to the EU, which amounted to about 3 million tonnes last fiscal year. The quota is part of the EU's Steel Overcapacity Regulation effective from July 1, imposing zero duty within quota and a 50% tariff beyond it. Indian steel exports will also be subject to the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
