India’s fight to save its Steel Industry | The Daily Brief

In today's episode of The Daily Brief, we cover 2 major stories shaping the Indian economy and global markets:

1. India’s Steel Import Curbs – Who Gains, Who Loses?
India is tightening curbs on steel imports through duties and quality controls to protect domestic producers from foreign dumping. While major players like Tata Steel and JSW benefit, small MSMEs that rely on specific steel grades are bearing the brunt due to higher costs and supply disruptions. The government’s Export Parity Price scheme tries to strike a balance, but poor implementation has left many businesses frustrated.

2. India’s Big Leap in Green Energy Contracts with VPPAs
India is set to introduce Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs), allowing companies to support renewable energy projects remotely and get clean energy credits. These financial contracts—already popular in the US and Europe—offer price stability for green developers and flexibility for corporates aiming to meet sustainability goals. If implemented, VPPAs could unlock a new era of market-driven clean energy adoption in India.
