The commerce ministry's arm Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has initiated anti-dumping investigation on the imports of aluminium and zinc coated flat products from China, Vietnam and Korea. The application was filed by JSW Steel Coated Products, which accounts for more than 60 percent of the total production of these flat products in India. The company asked for an anti-dumping probe and imposition of duty on imports of flat rolled product of steel, plated or coated with alloy of aluminum and zinc, from these countries.
If established that dumping has caused material injury to domestic players, DGTR would recommend imposition of antidumping duty on the imports. It has found sufficient evidence of dumping of the goods by these countries. It said “the authority hereby initiates an investigation into the alleged dumping, and consequent injury to the domestic industry...to determine the existence, degree and effect of alleged dumping and to recommend the amount of antidumping duty, which if levied, would be adequate to remove the injury to the domestic industry.”
The period of investigation for the present investigation is from October 2017 to September 2018. However, for the purpose of injury investigation, the period will also cover the data of 2015-18. The product offers resistance to corrosion, and is used in many applications and sectors including solar power projects, roofing, white goods and appliances, furniture and substrate for colour-coated steel.
