The commerce ministry has recommended imposition of anti-dumping duty on high-quality glass, used in construction, refrigeration, solar energy and other industries, from Bangladesh and Thailand to guard domestic players from cheap imports. Arch Pharmalabs has filed an application before the DGTR for initiation of an anti-dumping investigation and imposition of the duty on the imports.
Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has recommended the duty on imports of 'clear float glass' from these two countries after concluding in its probe that the product has been exported at dumped prices into India, which impacted the domestic industry. The authority recommends imposition of the anti-dumping duties on the imports of the subject goods. Clear float glass is used in construction, refrigeration, mirror and solar energy industries. It is a superior quality.
DGTR had conducted the probe following a complaint from Asahi India Class, Gold Plus Glass Industry, Sisecam Flat Glass lndia and Saint-Gobain India about the dumping of the glass. In a separate notification, DGTR has also suggested imposition of the duty on ursodeoxycholic acid imported from China and Korea. It is used as medical therapy in gallstone disease and for biliary sludge.
