From 12th September 2012, the exported steel products need offering BIS certificate,
include Pressure Vessel Plate, round bar, steel ingot, billet steel, rebar, wire rod and the diameter
above 8mm steel products. API 5L, seamless pipe, line pipe, wire rod
Indian steel mills said that: In order to pass the BIS certification,
Will consume more ferroalloy in steelmaking process and electricity, caused much more cost production.
So, API 5L, seamless pipe, line pipe, wire rod. if the steel price can not rise,
Small and medium-sized enterprises will not have the ability to go on producing.
Usually, the BIS certificate need 6-8 months,
but Indian steel mills have made it clear that can’t require the government to stay of execution,
at the same time remind steel mills don't make a mistake in the certification process.
Indian standards authority has said, on September 12, may not be able to complete all mills certification,
especially the foreign steel mills. If unexpected factors, certification period may need to be extended.
Unable to complete the foreign steel mills certification, this may result in September,
after some steel products to import, API 5L, seamless pipe, line pipe, wire rod
or imports cannot meet domestic demand, especially in the country can't oriented silicon steel production.
Indian steel department, said if that happens, some policy adjustments may be temporary.
In the first half of this year, China's exports to India steel 1.2 million tons, about 7% from a year earlier.
The rebar export 68000 tons, the wire rod export 90000 tons, in the thick plate 220000 tons, 255000 tons of
hot rolled, cold roll of 150000 tons, 150000 tons of electrical steel. The author compared the involving steel
tariff number, API 5L, seamless pipe, line pipe, wire rod, in the midst of China's steel exports to
India, need to the BIS certification is not much, little influence on the market.
