Steel sector norms: Government extends exemption from quality compliance; here's the next deadline

The Centre has extended the quality enforcement timeline for specific steel and stainless-steel imports until March 2026. This move aims to prevent supply disruptions of specialized steel grades not yet produced domestically in sufficient quantities. The government also simplified import procedures for steel grades not covered by existing Quality Control Orders.
