India's rolled steel exports rose thirty-six percent to six point six million metric tons in fiscal year 2025/2026, driven by European stockpiling ahead of new trade measures. Italy became the top destination at one point zero seven million metric tons, while Vietnam surged from near-zero to seven hundred and seventy-two thousand metric tons following anti-dumping actions against Chinese steel. The export outlook for the new fiscal year faces headwinds from European trade barriers and Middle East conflict disrupting Gulf shipments.
