Jindal Stainless Ltd (JSL) MD Abhyuday Jindal has urged the government to remove import duty on raw materials in the upcoming Union Budget, a move, the industry leader said, will provide a level-playing field to domestic players.

India's steel import to be elevated at 6MT in FY24 on strong demand: CRISIL
