✔️ US tariffs unlikely to hurt Indian steelmakers due to low export share.
✔️ Less than 5% of Indian steel production exported to the US.
✔️ Strong domestic demand to support stable production and margins.

Indian steel companies are unlikely to face significant pressure from the recent US tariffs on steel imports, as their export exposure to the US market remains limited. Analysts suggest that India’s steel exports to the US account for less than 5% of total steel production, insulating domestic steelmakers from major disruptions.

The US recently announced a 25% tariff on steel imports to protect domestic producers. However, Indian steel majors like Tata Steel, JSW Steel, and SAIL are expected to face minimal impact due to their heavy reliance on domestic and Asian markets.

“Indian steelmakers are primarily focused on meeting domestic demand and regional markets in Asia,” said an industry expert. “The low dependence on the US market reduces the impact of these tariffs.”

With strong domestic demand driven by infrastructure and construction projects, Indian steel companies are expected to maintain stable production and profit margins despite global trade challenges.
