India has moved to raise the landed cost of selected Chinese cold-rolled steel imports for the next five years by imposing anti-dumping duties that range from about $223.8 per ton to $414.9 per ton. The stated purpose is to shield domestic producers from imports deemed to be priced below “normal value” and therefore injurious to Indian industry.

The affected category, more specifically, is cold-rolled non-oriented electrical steel (CRNO), a specialty flat steel used in the magnetic cores of electric motors, generators and transformers. That distinction matters because electrical steel is a strategic upstream input for electrification-heavy sectors, like power grid upgrades, renewables integration equipment, industrial motors, and parts of the electric vehicle supply chain, where reliability, quality and cost all have outsized downstream effects.

France’s state-controlled energy giant EDF has announced it will inject an additional £1.1 billion ($1.5 billion) into the UK’s ambitious Sizewell C nuclear project, deepening its role in one of Britain’s most consequential infrastructure undertakings. The move was unveiled during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to the UK — the first by a European head of state since Brexit — underscoring efforts to rejuvenate Franco-British cooperation in strategic sectors.

The Sizewell C project, located on England’s Suffolk coast, is at the heart of London’s strategy to modernize its power fleet. With many of the UK’s ageing nuclear reactors nearing the end of their operational lives, new builds like Sizewell C are essential to replace retiring capacity, bolster long-term energy security, and anchor Britain’s legally binding commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

China’s Tsingshan Holding Group, a major player in the nickel and stainless steel industry, is set to invest a significant $233.2 million in establishing a plant in Chile focused on producing lithium iron phosphate (LFP), a critical component used in batteries for electric vehicles (EVs)…
