On September 14, as a result of the sunset review investigation, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of India determined to recommend the Ministry of Finance of India to continue the anti-dumping measures on hot-rolled flat steel from Japan.

During the sunset review proceedings, the Japanese steel industry claimed that revocation of the anti-dumping measures is not likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material 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 and concluded to continue the anti-dumping measures on hot-rolled 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.
