Ramesh Nair — executive director of Jindal Stainless — commented on the situation: «The price of stainless steel imported to our country from China, significantly lower cost level," local «metal (approximately 20−25 percent less). It harms the industry, and we turned to the government for the introduction of anti-dumping duties on imports of products in this category. First of all we are talking about cold-rolled stainless steel — the most interesting for the domestic consumer category rolled. «
