Sep-30-2026

India has started a probe into an alleged dumping of as many as seven products, including engineering and pharma sector goods, from China. The investigations are carried out by the Directorate General for Trade Remedies (DGTR), under the Commerce and Industry Ministry, following complaints from domestic manufacturers, who alleged that the dumped imports were adversely affecting their businesses. 

According to seven separate notifications of the directorate, the eight products are – Para-tert-Octyl Phenol Formaldehyde Tackifier Resin (used in the tyre and rubber industry), Penicillin G and its salts (an active pharmaceutical ingredient), 6-Amino Penicillanic Acid (a vital drug intermediate), T-Shaped Elevator/Lift Solid Guide Rails, Amoxycillin Trihydrate (used in the pharma industry), Montelukast Sodium (a pharma sector raw material), and Copolymer Polyol (used in the manufacturing of mattresses). 

The DGTR is also probing dumping of 'AD - Isopropyl Alcohol' (used in hand sanitisers) from the European Union, South Korea, Taiwan and the US. Another investigation is underway on alleged dumped imports of Pentaerythritol, a chemical which has applications in the paint and varnish industry, from Russia. One of the notifications said ‘on the basis of the duly substantiated written application submitted by the applicant and having reached satisfaction based on the prima facie evidence submitted by the applicant concerning the dumping of the product...the authority, hereby, initiates an antidumping investigation.’ If it is established that these dumpings have caused material injury to the domestic players, the DGTR would recommend the imposition of duties on these imports. The finance ministry takes the final decision to impose anti-dumping and other trade-related duties.
