India's Anti-Dumping Investigation into Steel Imports

India has initiated an anti-dumping investigation regarding steel imports from Vietnam, responding to concerns from domestic steel companies like JSW Steel and ArcelorMittal. These companies argue that the low prices of Vietnamese steel make it nearly impossible for them to compete, impacting their market positioning. However, the investigation may not address the core issue since India primarily imports steel from China, which dominates 73% of India's steel imports. The significant challenge of reliance on Chinese steel highlights the potential risk of increased dependence on a single nation within the global trade landscape.
