Commenting on the performance of the company, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, Abhyuday Jindal, said, “Our domestic sales are up by 15% YoY, buoyed by the government’s push for stainless steel in strategic sectors. As we wait for the National Stainless Steel Policy, we are confident that the per capita consumption of stainless steel in India will increase from the current 2.8 kg in the coming years. Chinese imports have increased by nearly 55% YoY. This highlights the unchecked dumping of subsidised and substandard Chinese products in the Indian market. We hope the government will take notice of the continuous and rampant imports by China, which is hurting the sector, especially the MSMEs, as well the government’s vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
