The government on Monday announced slashing of import duties on a number of steel items in order to provide relief to MSMEs, which have been hit hard by the high cost of raw materials.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her Budget speech for 2021-22 said the anti-dumping duty (ADD) and countervailing duty (CVD) have also been revoked on certain steel products.
