Core Purpose

The Ministry of Steel publishes the revised Domestically Manufactured Iron & Steel Products Policy-2025, in supersession of the earlier policy, to give preference to domestically manufactured iron and steel products in Government procurement.

Detailed Summary

G.S.R. 904(E), issued by the Ministry of Steel on 17th December 2025, publishes the revised 'Policy for Providing Preference to Domestically Manufactured Iron & Steel Products in Government Procurement - Revised, 2025' (DMI&SP Policy-2025) for general information, in supersession of the earlier DMI&SP Policy. The policy grants preference to domestically manufactured iron and steel products in Government procurement, covering iron & steel products under Appendix-A, capital goods under Appendix-B, and indigenous technology from suppliers under Appendix-C. It defines Domestic Manufacturer by reference to section 2(72) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, defines domestic value addition in line with DPIIT guidelines, and defines 'Melt & Pour' as requiring crude steel to be first produced and poured into its first solid shape in India (the country of melt and pour). The margin of purchase preference for Appendix-B capital goods is fixed at 20%. A Standing Committee chaired by the Secretary (Steel), comprising industry, association and government representatives, monitors implementation, reviews and notifies the product lists and content criteria in Appendices A to C, grants exemptions, issues clarifications, and constitutes a grievance redressal committee. The policy binds every Ministry or Department of Government and agencies under their control, Central Sector and Centrally Sponsored Schemes executed by States, and public sector steel manufacturers procuring capital goods under Appendix-B, with a 20% purchase preference applying to importable capital goods for steel manufacturing. No Global Tender Enquiry may be invited for Appendix-A procurement, nor for Appendix-B capital-goods packages valued up to Rs. 200 crore without Department of Expenditure approval; the policy applies to Appendix-A procurement contracts exceeding Rs. 5 lakh on an itemised basis. Suppliers debarred by one procuring entity for violating the policy lose preference eligibility with other procuring entities; the Ministry's grievance redressal committee must dispose of complaints within four weeks, and procuring agencies must prescribe penalties, including EMD forfeiture and blacklisting, for false domestic-value-addition declarations. The policy applies for five years from publication, extendable at the Ministry's discretion, with covered agencies filing quarterly compliance declarations. Appendix-A lists iron and steel products by HS Code across Chapters 7208 to 7326 and 8605 to 8607, each requiring either 'Melt & Pour' or '50% Domestic Value Addition'. Appendix-B lists capital goods for plant packages spanning mining, pelletisation, coke ovens, sintering, blast furnaces, direct-reduction and oxygen plants, steelmaking units (hot-metal desulphurisation, basic oxygen furnace, electric arc furnace, ladle furnace, RH degassing, AOD/VOD, submerged arc furnace, continuous casting) and flat and long product rolling mills, with minimum domestic-content requirements for each package ranging from about 30% to 95%.

The policy applies to procurement of iron & steel products notified in Appendix A, procurement of capital goods listed in Appendix B and technology from indigenous technology suppliers in Appendix C. 2. Definitions 2.1. Bidder may be a domestic/foreign manufacturer of iron & steel or their selling agents/ authorized distributors/authorized dealers/ authorized supply house or any other company engaged in the bidding of projects funded by Government agencies. 2.2. Domestically Manufactured Iron & Steel Products are those iron and steel products that are manufactured by entities that are registered and established in India, including in Special Economic Zones (SEZs). 2.3. Domestic Manufacturer is a manufacturer conforming to Section 2(72) of the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Act, 2017. 2.4. Domestic value addition means the amount of value added in India which shall be the total value of the item to be procured (excluding net domestic indirect taxes) minus the value of imported content in the item (including all custom duties) as a proportion of the total value of the item to be procured, in percent. The ‘domestic value addition’ definition shall be in line with the DPIIT guidelines and shall be suitably amended in case of any changes by DPIIT in the future. For the purpose of this policy document, domestic value addition and local content have been used interchangeably. % Domestic value addition = {Total value of the item to be procured (excluding net domestic indirect taxes) – The value of imported content in the item (including all customs duties)} X 100% {Total value of the item to be procured} 2.5. Finished Steel means flat and long products, which can be subsequently processed into manufactured items. 2.6. Government for the purpose of the Policy means Government of India. 2.7. Government agencies include Government PSUs, Societies, Trusts, and Statutory bodies set up by the Government of India. 2.8. Indigenous Technology: A technology shall be deemed to be Indigenous technology if, at least 51 % of the entity’s equity is held by Indian residents and the IPR is owned or co-owned by an Indian entity or licensed exclusively to them and the core engineering R&D, and project execution capabilities reside in India. 2.9. L1 means the lowest tender, or the lowest bid or the lowest quotation received in a tender, bidding process, or other procurement solicitation as adjudged in the evaluation process as per the tender or other procurement solicitation. 2.10. MoS means Ministry of Steel, Government of India. 2.11. Margin of purchase preference means the maximum extent to which the price quoted by a domestic supplier may be above L1 for the purpose of purchase preference. In the case of DMI&SP policy, the margin of purchase preference shall be 2 0 % for items in Appendix B. 2.12. Melt & Pour is defined as the steel that has been produced in a steel-making furnace and poured into its first solid shape. The location where this process takes place is called the country of melt and pour (COM). The COM is the original location where crude steel is first produced in a liquid state and poured into its first solid shape. The country of melt and pour (COM) should be India. The first solid shape can be a semi-finished product, like a slab, billet, ingot, or a finished steel mill product. 2.13. Net Selling Price means the invoiced price excluding net domestic taxes and duties. 2.14. Semi-Finished Steel means Ingots, billets, blooms, and slabs, which can be subsequently processed into finished steel. 3. Exclusions 3.1. Waivers may be granted by the Ministry of Steel to all such Government procurements subject to the below conditions: 3.1.1. Where specific grades of steel are not manufactured in the country, or 3.1.2. Where the quantities as per the demand of the project cannot be met through domestic sources. 3.2.
