Jamshedpur: Tata Steel CEO & Managing Director T V Narendran on Wednesday said the 50 per cent tariff imposed by the US government will not have much impact on the domestic steel sector but the company’s European operations may feel the pinch.
Narendran, however, said the tariff would affect other sectors such as textiles and gems and jewellery. “The US tariff will not have much direct impact on the domestic steel sector as it does not export steel to them, but Tata Steel's European operation, which exports steel to the US, may feel the pinch as a similar tariff on steel was applicable there too,” he said.

Domestic Steel demand was also growing. But we have to be competitive always.”
Narendran said the government has been chalking out a strategy, such as a proposal to bring in reforms in GST, to counter the impact of the 50 per cent US tariff.
