India has launched investigations into the alleged dumping of six crucial products, including chemicals and steel, imported from China. This move follows complaints from domestic businesses affected by these imports.
The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) is now examining whether these imports have harmed the local industry. The allegations encompass several products, such as 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber, certain antioxidants, polytetrafluoroethylene, black toner powder cartridge, and cold-rolled electrical steel.
If the inquiry confirms material injury to domestic producers, the DGTR may recommend anti-dumping duties. The final decision will rest with the Finance Ministry. Such measures aim to ensure fair trade and protect domestic industries, as outlined by WTO regulations.
