India initiates anti-dumping probe against imports of optical fiber from China, Indonesia, and Korea

10 May 2022 Evaluate

India has initiated an anti-dumping probe against imports of a certain type of optical fiber from China, Indonesia, and South Korea following a complaint by a domestic player. The duty is aimed at protecting domestic industry from cheap imports. The commerce ministry's investigation arm Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) is probing the alleged dumping of 'Dispersion Unshifted Single-mode Optical Fibre' originating in or exported from these three nations.

The product is used for the manufacture of different kinds of cables, including optical fiber, tight buffer cables, and armored and un-armored cables. Single-mode optical fiber is mainly applied to high-data-rate, long-distance, and access network transportation. Birla Furukawa Fibre Optics has filed an application on behalf of the domestic industry for the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation.

The DGTR in a notification has stated that the applicant has alleged that material injury is being caused to the domestic industry due to the dumped imports from these countries. The directorate said, based on the duly substantiated written application by the domestic industry, and having satisfied itself, based on the prima facie evidence submitted by the domestic industry about the dumping...the authority hereby initiates an investigation. If it is established that the dumping has caused material injury to the domestic players, the DGTR would recommend the imposition of anti-dumping duty on these imports. The finance ministry takes the final decision to impose the duties.
