India is expanding its power infrastructure while domestic CRGO production remains below national requirements. This article examines BIS certification, import availability, domestic capacity expansion, transformer costs and why CRGO requires a specialised policy approach.

A DGTR anti-dumping investigation has been initiated against CRGO and Amorphous Metal imports from China, Japan, South Korea, and Russia — at the exact moment India needs more of this material than at any point in its history. The Timing Could Not Be More Consequential On 22 June 2026, India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) issued F. No. 6/17/2026-DGTR: an initiation notification for an anti-dumping investigation into imports of Cold Rolled Grain Oriented Electr

Understand CRGO electrical steel, transformer core materials, grades, applications, manufacturing processes, transformer core operations, and CRGO vs CRNO in one practical guide.

Understanding the CRGO Supply Gap in India India has faced a persistent CRGO supply gap through 2024–2025. This situation makes compliance and sourcing efficiency critical. According to BusinessWorld and GTRI, the demand for Cold-Rolled Grain-Oriented (CRGO) steel is on the rise, especially in the power sector. CRGO used in transformer cores must comply with IS 3024:2015 under the Steel & Steel Products (Quality Control) Order, 2020. BIS marking and licensing (or CoC) is mand
