India’s Directorate General of Trade Remedies has recommended imposition of anti dumping duty for 5 years on imports of Flat Rolled Products of Stainless Steel from European Union, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, China, Indonesia and Taiwan. The duty recommended by DGTR ranges between USD 67 per tonne to USD 944 per tonne. In its final findings after concluding the probe, DGTR concluded that the product has been exported to India from these countries below its normal value, which led to dumping of the product. India’s domestic industry has suffered material injury. The DGTR conducted the probe following complaints by domestic manufacturers. The Finance Ministry takes the final call to impose the duty.
