- Open House to address steel import issues and exemptions
- Ministry of Steel invites companies and associations to participate
The Ministry of Steel will hold an Open House to discuss steel import issues on February 2, 2026. The meeting will focus on matters linked to the import of steel, including concerns related to SIMS, SARAL SIMS, and QCO exemption. The Open House will take place in the Steel Room on the third floor of GPOA 3 at Netaji Nagar in New Delhi. The ministry aims to provide a platform where companies and associations can present their issues directly.
The Open House will run from 12 noon to 5 pm. However, participation will require prior confirmation. The ministry has stated that specific time slots will be shared through email. Therefore, walk in participation will not be allowed due to logistical challenges. Also, to ensure wider participation, only one representative from each organisation will be permitted to attend.
Companies and associations that wish to take part must send an email to tech-steel[at]nic[dot]in to obtain a confirmed time slot. While sending the email, participants may include key details. These include the name of the company or association and whether the issue relates to SIMS, SARAL SIMS, or QCO exemption. The email may also mention the name and designation of the participant, as third party representation is not allowed. In addition, applicants may refer to any existing SIMS, SARAL SIMS, or QCO exemption application, if available.
The ministry has also advised that participants may briefly describe the issue in not more than 50 words. Details about the type of industry and product, such as auto, aerospace, telecom, or defence, may also be included. Contact details, including mobile number and email address, are expected to be shared to enable communication.
Meanwhile, the ministry has set a clear deadline. Any company or association facing steel import issues linked to SIMS, SARAL SIMS, or QCO exemption should send its request by January 30, 2026, before 6 pm. Only those who meet the deadline will receive confirmed time slots. The Open House is expected to help the ministry understand industry concerns while allowing stakeholders to raise issues in a structured manner.
