On April 10, as a result of an anti-dumping investigation, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India determined to recommend the Ministry of Finance of India to implement anti-dumping measures for cold-rolled flat steel from Japan.

During the anti-dumping investigation, the Japanese steel industry stated that exports of cold-rolled flat steel from Japan have caused no injury to the domestic industry in India.

We believe that it is unjust and extremely regrettable that the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India has rejected our statements, concluded that the domestic industry in India has been injured by imports of cold-rolled flat steel from Japan.

The Japanese steel industry will carefully study this decision and determine a proper course of action in preparation for the final determination by the Ministry of Finance in India.
