Doing a steel project in India

India is in Southern Asia. The capital is New Delhi. Local currency: Indian rupee (INR).

Vietnam and India are both parties to AIFTA, so steel structures made in Vietnam can qualify for preferential tariffs under the rules of origin.

Victor Dang, Global Sales Director of World Steel Group, is the direct contact for projects in India, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
