DGTR in a notification has said prima facie there is an evidence of dumping of the product from China in spite of the existing anti-dumping duties.
On the basis of the duly substantiated application of the applicants and "having satisfied itself, on the basis of the prima facie evidence submitted by the domestic industry...The authority, hereby, initiates a sunset review investigation," the notification said.
DGTR would review the need to continue the duties and examine whether the expiry of existing duties is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and impact the domestic industry.
The existing duties are set to expire on October 17, 2023.
The duty is aimed at ensuring fair trade practices and creating a level-playing field for domestic producers with regard to foreign producers and exporters.
