Core Viewpoint - The Indian Ministry of Finance has officially decided to impose a five-year anti-dumping duty on cold-rolled non-oriented electrical steel (CRNO) originating from or imported from China, marking the entry of this product into a high-tax regulatory period in India [1][11]. Group 1: Anti-Dumping Duty Details - The anti-dumping duty will be differentiated by manufacturer, with specific rates set at $223.82 per ton for Wuhan Iron and Steel Corporation, Baosteel Zhanjiang Iron and Steel Co., and Baoshan Iron and Steel Co., while other Chinese manufacturers/exporters will face a rate of $414.92 per ton [1]. - The affected products include cold-rolled non-oriented silicon steel flat products, regardless of whether they are in coils, and cover multiple items under Indian customs codes 7210, 7225, and 7226 [1]. Group 2: Impact on Exporters - The imposition of high anti-dumping duties will significantly increase the cost per ton for Chinese exporters, thereby weakening their price competitiveness in the Indian market [3]. - Indian importers will face increased customs clearance costs and compliance risks, leading to pressure on existing long-term orders to renegotiate or shift procurement sources [3]. - In response to the long-term nature of the anti-dumping measures, some exporting companies are evaluating the option of restructuring their export routes through third countries to mitigate the impact of policy costs [3]. Group 3: Transshipment via Malaysia - The transshipment route through Malaysia has become a focal point for industry evaluation, allowing products to enter the Indian market under a non-Chinese origin status by completing substantial processing and compliance reporting in a third country [4]. - The process involves three stages: exporting from China to Malaysia, local processing in Malaysia to meet origin rules, and re-exporting to India as Malaysian origin [6]. - Compliance with origin rules is critical, requiring substantial processing and documentation to avoid being classified as circumvention of the anti-dumping duties [9]. Group 4: Long-Term Supply Chain Adjustments - The formal imposition of anti-dumping duties indicates that the export of CRNO to India has entered a phase of high barriers and long-term regulatory scrutiny [11]. - Companies are increasingly shifting from a "single origin export" model to a "multi-node supply chain layout," utilizing compliant transshipment methods to restructure market entry paths [11]. - Over the next five years, the ability to adapt origin structures, processing layouts, and compliance capabilities will be key variables determining the competitiveness of electrical steel exporters in the Indian market [11].

Core Viewpoints of the Report - On September 24, the iron ore futures main 2601 contract oscillated, rose in the afternoon and then fell back, closing at 803.5 yuan/ton with a 0.00% increase. Considering the steel mill's resumption rhythm and restocking demand before the National Day holiday, it is expected that the iron ore price may fluctuate strongly in the near future [7][11] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Review and Future Outlook - **Market Review**: On September 24, the iron ore futures main 2601 contract oscillated, rose in the afternoon and then fell back, closing at 803.5 yuan/ton with a 0.00% increase.

The total shipments from Australia and Brazil in the past four weeks increased by 3.56% compared to the previous four weeks. Considering the shipping time, the future arrivals are expected to further recover, showing a pattern of being low first and then high. On the demand side, last week, the molten iron output, blast furnace start - up rate, and blast furnace capacity utilization rate rebounded again, with obvious demand recovery after the September 3rd restrictions. However, the continuous decline in the profitability of downstream steel enterprises will limit the growth space of demand. In terms of inventory, as the National Day holiday in October approaches, steel mills have started the restocking process, which will support the iron ore demand before the holiday [10][11] 3.2 Industry News - **Anti - Dumping News**: On September 23, South Korea decided to impose temporary anti - dumping duties on carbon steel and alloy steel hot - rolled coils from China and Japan. From September 19, India decided to impose a 5 - year anti - dumping duty on cold - rolled non - oriented electrical steel from China [12] - **Policy News**: Six ministries including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the "Work Plan for Stable Growth of the Building Materials Industry (2025 - 2026)", aiming to make the building materials industry recover and improve profitability from 2025 - 2026, and increase the scale of green building materials and advanced inorganic non - metallic materials industries. The green building materials' operating income is expected to exceed 30 billion yuan in 2026. Five key tasks are deployed, including strengthening industry management, enhancing industrial technological innovation, expanding effective investment, expanding consumer demand, and deepening opening - up and cooperation [12][13] 3.3 Data Overview - The report provides multiple data charts, including the prices of main iron ore varieties at Qingdao Port, the price differences between high - grade, low - grade ores and PB powder at Qingdao Port, the basis between iron ore spot and January contract at Qingdao Port, the shipments from Brazil and Australia, the arrivals at 45 ports, the capacity utilization rate of domestic mines, the trading volume at main ports, the inventory available days of steel mills' iron ore, the inventory of imported sintered powder ore, the inventory and dispatch volume of port iron ore, the cost of molten iron in sample steel mills, the start - up rate and capacity utilization rate of blast furnaces and electric furnaces, the daily average molten iron output nationwide, the apparent consumption of five major steel products, the weekly output of five major steel products, and the inventory of five major steel products in steel mills [15][20][24]
