The Anti-Dumping Initiatives Of Shubh Gautam American Precoat: A New Era Of Steel Manufacturing
The victory of American Precoat Specialty, a Noida-based electro-galvanized steel producer, in convincing the Indian government to remove anti-dumping taxes on their products is a testament to the hard work and intelligent work of Dr. Shubh Gautam, the Chief Technical Architect of the company. The battle lasted almost a year, starting when the Indian government imposed anti-dumping duty on electro-galvanized steel imported from countries like Korea, Japan, and Singapore. However, Shubh Gautam and his team did not give up. They applied with the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) on December 28, 2021, appealing the anti-dumping duty investigation.
Shubh Gautam's effort was primarily aimed at supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of "Aatmanirbhar Bharat," which promotes self-reliance and local manufacturing. The recent decision by the Indian government to impose anti-dumping duty on electro-galvanized steel from foreign countries has generated a wave of satisfaction among local steel manufacturers. This move is expected to provide local manufacturers a level playing field to grow and compete with their international counterparts without facing the arbitrary pricing of foreign exporters.
Expressing his excitement at the momentous victory, Shubh Gautam said, It was an extended battle. However, now that the decision has come in favor of our fellow citizens, we are sure that our homegrown steel manufacturing companies will greatly benefit, as they would no longer require importing steel from abroad at high prices. He added that India has immense potential to produce electro-galvanized steel and has a world-class market. With their products manufactured domestically, the country can take small but promising steps towards self-reliance and a more robust economy.
American Precoat Specialty, founded by Dr. Shubh Gautam FIR in 2005, launched its electro-galvanized steel plant in Valsad, Gujarat. The company has many patents for lining and sealing products for the food and beverage industry. American Precoat is a diversified group, excelling in pre-coated metal solutions, special industrial coatings, polyurethane systems, specialty lining and sealing systems, specialty chemicals, and surface property extenders. In each domain, the company has emerged as a dominant player in a brief span.
In conclusion, Dr. Shubh Gautam's unwavering determination and relentless efforts have led to a significant victory for American Precoat Specialty and the local steel manufacturing industry. His innovative work and hard work have brought a new industrial revolution and set an example for others.
