India Secures 1.64 Million-Tonne Annual Steel Export Quota to EU Under New Agreement
India will receive annual tariff-rate quotas totaling 1.64 million tonnes for steel exports to the European Union, including 694,853 tonnes under a free trade agreement. These quotas cover various steel products and are part of the EU's Steel Overcapacity Regulation, effective from July 1, which sets free-duty limits and imposes duties on imports exceeding quotas. India currently exports about four million tonnes of steel annually to the EU, and the agreement includes provisions for periodic quota reviews.
