Dear entrepreneurs,

New year greetings,

Covid 19 has dealt a severe blow to our industries and inhibited the pace of our growth. Like all the industries, year 2020 has been challenging for Stainless industry as well. Earlier due to shutdown and then due to shortage of workers, the Stainless Steel industry suffered a huge loss and could not fulfill the demand of the market.

The government of India has imposed anti-dumping and countervailing duty on import of Stainless Steel to support the industry. But with this, the government will have to take measures so that the spurt in prices of raw-material due to this duty can be controlled to keep the export competitive.

With technology taking over everything, businesses will now have to make a rapid transition from offline to online, which requires a completely new approach to business strategy. New normal calls for on-line meetings, virtual exhibitions and electronic transactions.

Keeping this in view, ‘Steel Market Info’ has set up an International digital platform ‘www.housewareindia.com’ for promotion of export of Stainless Steel houseware and other products to connect our exporters with over 9000 buyers from 150 countries.

“Steel Market Info” has also scheduled its next B2B show 11^th Indian Stainless Steel Houseware Show and 4^th Stainless Steel Pipe 2021 from July 17 – 19 at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi. This event will provide a wonderful opportunity to Stainless Steel kitchenware, cookware and houseware manufacturers, exporters and buyers to converge under one roof for business.

With warm wishes of growth in your business
