Indian steel firms have asked the government to curb imports after overseas purchases rose 50 per cent to about 3 million tonnes between April and September, the Economic Times reported on Tuesday.
Domestic steel makers feel threatened by China, Thailand and Ukraine which were allegedly dumping cheap steel in India, the paper said, quoting an unidentified official of a steel firm. Demand for steel has slumped in the past four to five months and stocks have risen, the paper said. A committee of senior government officials would look into the demands of steel makers, the Economic Times said.
