Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal is reported to have held a number of meetings to take stock of the situation. Government officials are also in touch with industry to get a wider view of the ground reality and formulate a strategy to protect the Indian economy.

The Commerce Ministry has already been keeping a close watch on goods such as steel from China which was hurting domestic industry after the earlier round of tariff hike by the US. Now the vigil has been widened to other goods as well, a senior official confirmed.
