[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] India's CCI Dismisses Complaint Over Jindal Stainless's Indonesian Slab and HRC Sourcing

India's Competition Commission dismissed a complaint against Jindal Stainless in an order dated July 21, 2026, alleging the producer had locked in exclusive arrangements with Indonesian suppliers for nickel-bearing stainless slab and hot-rolled coil, shutting rival Indian firms out of a key input. The complainant, an unnamed downstream stainless manufacturer, also challenged the Jindal Saathi dealership scheme. The CCI found no evidence that rivals suffered output cuts, market exit or other competitive harm, and said Jindal is not dominant upstream given multiple domestic and BIS-certified overseas suppliers. It accepted the company is dominant in downstream cold-rolled stainless but found no abuse. India has no domestic nickel reserves, a dependence deepened by Indonesia's 2020 ore export ban.
