DGTR starts anti-dumping probe into imports of nylon chips, granules from China, Russia
Jan-07-2026

With a view to guard domestic players from cheap imports from the neighbouring country, the Commerce Ministry's arm, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), has started an anti-dumping probe into imports of nylon chips and granules -- used in the textiles industry, from China and Russia. The probe follows allegations from Gujarat Polyfilms, a domestic manufacturer. The company has alleged that the dumping of Nylon 6 Chips and Granules with relative viscosity (RV) below 3 is impacting the domestic industry. 

DGTR said that the directorate has prima facie found sufficient evidence of dumping from these countries. The authority, hereby, initiates an anti-dumping investigation. If it is established that the dumping has caused material injury to the domestic player, the DGTR would recommend imposing a levy on imports. The finance ministry takes the final decision on imposing the duty.

Anti-dumping probes are conducted by countries to determine whether domestic industries have been hurt because of a surge in cheap imports. As a countermeasure, they impose these duties under the multilateral regime of the Geneva-based World Trade Organisation (WTO). The duty is aimed at ensuring fair trading practices and creating a level playing field for domestic producers vis-a-vis foreign producers and exporters. India has already imposed anti-dumping duties on several products to tackle cheap imports from various countries, including China.
