Revised Policy for Domestically Manufactured Iron & Steel Products

The Ministry of Steel has revised its policy to provide preference to Domestically Manufactured Iron & Steel Products (DMI&SP), initially notified in 2017 and amended recently on 25.07.2025. This policy mandates that all government procurement of iron and steel products must be sourced from within India, reflecting the government's commitment to bolster the domestic steel sector and promote self-reliance in steelmaking technologies. The latest amendments include a revised list of capital goods for import and relaxed entry barriers for indigenous technology suppliers to participate in tenders for steel mill setups.
