- (a) whether  the  Government  is  aware  that  the  United  States  has  rejected  India's challenge at the World Trade Organization (WTO) to the US steel and aluminium tariffs on legal and procedural grounds, if so, the details thereof;
- (b) the  details  of  the  procedural  errors  allegedly  committed  by  India  in  its  WTO challenge as cited by the United States; and
- (c) the steps being taken by the Government to address these concerns and to protect India's steel and aluminium exports from the impact of US tariffs?

## ANSWER

## वाणिज्य एवं उद्योग मंत्रालय में राज्यमंत्री ( श्री णिणिन प्रसाद

## )

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

(a) to (c) The United States did not accept India's request for consultations under the WTO Agreement on Safeguards (AoS) concerning US tariffs on steel, aluminium, and related derivative products. The US has maintained that these measures were introduced under Section 232 of their domestic law on grounds of national security. They have further stated that the measures fall within the scope of Article XXI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994, which allows exceptions for national security, and have therefore taken  the  position  that  these  actions  are  not  safeguard  measures  under  the  WTO Agreement on Safeguards.

India, however, considers these measures to be safeguard actions that should have been notified and subjected to consultations under the AoS. India has accordingly reserved its right  to  suspend  substantially  equivalent  concessions  ( right  to  impose  equal  trade measures in response ) due to the US's non-compliance with its obligations under the AoS.

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

(a) to (c) The Prime Ministers of India and UK had announced the successful conclusion of India-UK FTA negotiations on 6th May, 2025. The trade deal, which has been named as Comprehensive Trade and Economic Agreement (CETA), has been signed on 24th July, 2025. CETA provides an unprecedented duty-free access to almost 99 per cent of India's exports to the UK, covering nearly 100% of the trade value. This includes labour-intensive sectors such as textiles, leather, marine products, gems and jewellery, and toys as well as high-growth sectors like engineering goods, chemicals, and auto components etc. This will spur large-scale employment generation, empowering artisans, women-led enterprises, and MSMEs. The services sector, a strong driver of India's economy, will also see wide-ranging benefits. The agreement provides greater market access in IT and IT-enabled services, financial and legal services, professional and educational services, and digital trade. Indian professionals,  including  those  deployed  by  companies  to  work  in  UK  across  all  service sectors,  professionals  deployed on contracts such as architects, engineers, chefs, yoga instructors, and musicians, will benefit from simplified visa procedures and liberalised entry categories, making it easier to work in the UK. India has also secured an agreement on the Double Contributions Convention. This will exempt Indian professionals and their employers from social security payments in the UK for up to three years. The agreement has been designed  to  make  trade  more  inclusive.  Women  and  youth  entrepreneurs,  farmers, fishermen, startups, and MSMEs will gain new access to global value chains, supported by provisions that encourage innovation, promote sustainable practices, and reduce non-tariff barriers.    The  press  note  issued  by  the  Department  in  this  regard  may  be  seen  at https://www.pib.gov.in/PressNoteDetails.aspx?NoteId=154945&ModuleId=3. India has opened 89.5% of its tariff lines, while safeguarding sensitive sectors like dairy, cereals, and certain essential oils. The CETA has a dedicated chapter on Innovation, objective of which is to support innovative processes and trade in innovative products, as well as economic growth between the Parties, by further enhancing collaboration on innovation.
