To protect domestic players from low-cost imports, the commerce ministry's investigation arm, the DGTR, has proposed that anti-dumping duties on Chinese solar glass be maintained for another two years.

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has issued a notification stating that the anti-dumping tax on 'textured tempered coated and un-coated glass' from China must be maintained.

The directorate has proposed levies ranging between USD 192.82 and USD 302.65 per tonne. This duty is imposed at the discretion of the finance ministry. The DGTR found from its investigation that the commodity is being exported to India at prices below normal value, resulting in continuing dumping.

The DGTR ruled that if the tax expires, there is a 'clear likelihood' of dumping the items in "large volumes," causing harm to the domestic sector.

China is a major producer of this type of glass. There are vast untapped capacities there, with a small portion of them adequate to meet India's entire needs.

Borosil Renewables Ltd requested a sunset review of the anti-dumping inquiry into Chinese imports of this glass.

The tax was levied by the revenue department in August 2017. Dumping is a term used in international trade to describe when a country or a company exports a product at a lower price than the product's domestic market price.
