India has initiated an anti-dumping investigation on imports of plastic processing machines imported from China. The application for imposing the duty was filed by the Plastics Machinery Manufacturers Association of India to the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) alleging that dumping is causing injury to the domestic industry.

“The Authority notes that there is prima facie evidence of dumping and consequential injury to the domestic industry on account of significant volume of imports,” DGTR said in a notification.

It said injury is being caused on account of significant volume of imports from the subject country, price undercutting and. price depressing effect on the domestic industry.
