Domestic manufacturers cry foul; seek additional duties on solar imports

In yet another blow to the solar developers in India, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) under the Ministry of Commerce has launched a probe into the dumping of solar equipment by China, Thailand, and Vietnam, based on a complaint by domestic manufacturers.

This could currently put projects with a capacity of 53.6 GW that are currently under construction at stake, per Mercom India Research. Out of that, 7 GW are due for completion by the end of FY21.
