Steelmaker ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel (AMNS) India has raised concerns over the negative impact of the US reciprocal tariff on domestic steel, joining the chorus of Indian steelmakers seeking additional duty protection from the government to prevent excessive dumping of steel in India.

"The domestic steel industry needs protection as the Indian market does not have more appetite for imported steel that has already risen in recent months," Ranjan Dhar, director and vice president-sales and marketing at ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India, told reporters.
