The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has proposed a five-year extension of the anti-dumping duty on imports of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) backsheets from China. 

Following a recent investigation, the DGTR uncovered that EVA backsheets were still being exported to India at prices below the normal value, indicating a case of dumping.

The directorate suggests imposing an anti-dumping duty of USD 590 per metric ton on EVA backsheets from Changzhou Sveck Photovoltaic New Material Company in China, and USD 897 per metric ton for all other producers.

In 2019, the Indian government imposed anti-dumping duties on EVA backsheet imports from China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand, with the current duty period set to conclude in March 2024.

DGTR's post-duty analysis revealed a significant surge in domestic production capacity, exceeding 400 percent, indicating a positive impact on the Indian industry. 

However, it also highlighted considerable unutilized capacities among Chinese exporters, raising concerns about a potential oversupply in the Chinese EVA market. The proposed extension aims to address these issues and maintain fair trade practices in the EVA backsheets sector.
