India has imposed antidumping duties on five
Chinese products, including certain aluminium goods and some chemicals, for
five years to guard local manufacturers from cheap imports from the
neighbouring country. According to separate notifications of the Central Board
of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), the duties have been imposed on certain
flat rolled products of aluminium; sodium hydrosulphite (used on dye industry);
silicone sealant (used in manufacturing of solar photovoltaic modules, and
thermal power applications); hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) component R-32; and
hydrofluorocarbon blends (both have uses in refrigeration industry).
These duties were imposed following recommendations of the commerce ministry's
investigation arm Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR).
