Importing Russian iron and steel into India
Russian iron and steel products move into India at meaningful volume. The trade is specification-heavy, mill-certificate driven, and exposed to Indian quality control orders that determine whether a product can be sold at all.

What this trade actually requires
Indian quality certification
Many steel products fall under Indian quality control orders requiring certification of the producing mill before import. This is the decisive question and it is mill-specific.
Mill test certificates
Chemistry and mechanical properties must be documented and must match the consignment.
Classification accuracy
Steel classification drives both duty and regulatory treatment, and errors are expensive.

Common questions
+–Is the mill certified for Indian import?
That is the first question to answer and it is mill-specific, not country-specific. We establish it before any commercial discussion, because it can make the whole trade impossible.
+–How much steel does India import from Russia?
US$ 343.31 million in FY26 to November 2025. Source: IBEF.
+–Do you inspect at the mill?
We arrange pre-shipment inspection and independent testing where the value justifies it.
