India may impose anti-dumping duty on a certain type of sheet used in making solar cell imported from China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Thailand for five years in order to safeguard domestic players from cheap imports from these countries.
The Commerce Ministry’s dumping investigation arm Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has recommended the duty in the range of $537 to $1,559 per tonne on imports of “Ethylene Vinyl Acetate sheet for solar module”.
The final decision to impose the duty would be taken by the Finance Ministry.
“The authority recommends imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties on the imports…Originating in or exported from China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand, for a period of five years,” the DGTR has said in a notification.
