The government's decision to impose safeguard duty on select steel products will provide a protective cushion for local producers and protect downstream supply chain producers, said experts. The government has extended safeguard duties on imports of certain steel products for three years. The safeguard duty will be levied at 12 per cent in the first year (April 21, 2025 to April 20, 2026), reduced to 11.5 per cent in the second year (April 21, 2026 to April 20, 2027), and further lowered to 11 per cent in the third year (April 21, 2027 to April 20, 2028).

It provides a protective cushion for local producers and, at the same time, protects downstream supply chain producers. The duties, first imposed as a temporary 12 per cent levy for 200 days in April, will now remain in force until April 2028, according to an .
