India Imposes Five-Year Anti-Dumping Duties On Chinese Chemicals

News summary

India has imposed five-year anti-dumping duties on four chemicals—PEDA, Acetonitrile, Vitamin-A Palmitate, and Insoluble Sulphur—imported mainly from China to protect domestic industries from unfairly priced imports. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) recommended these duties after investigations found that these chemicals were being dumped at prices below normal value, harming domestic manufacturers. The duties range from USD 1,305.6 to USD 2,017.9 per tonne for PEDA, up to USD 481 per tonne for Acetonitrile, USD 20.87 per kg for Vitamin-A Palmitate, and USD 358 per tonne for Insoluble Sulphur. This move aligns with World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules to ensure fair trade practices and aims to create a level playing field for Indian producers. The decision also addresses India's growing trade deficit with China, which reached a record USD 99.2 billion in 2024–25, with imports rising sharply and exports to China declining. By discouraging underpriced imports, India seeks to support domestic manufacturing and enhance economic resilience.
