(GSII), formerly the National Steel Corp., has informed the Board of Investments (BOI) that it will begin commercial operation by June this year.

The start of GSII’s full commercial operation is supposed to trigger the imposition of the approved increase in tariff rate on hot and cold rolled coils that will be produced by GSII.

However, according to government sources, GSII must inform the Tariff and Related Matters (TRM) committee once the firm is commercially operational.
