The Government of India has decided to continue the levy of anti-dumping duty (ADD) on imports of Toluene Di-isocyanate (TDI), a chemical widely used in the production of foams, coatings, and adhesives.

This decision comes after a detailed review conducted by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), which recommended the extension to safeguard the interests of domestic manufacturers.

As the initial duty period approached its end, the DGTR initiated a review in December 2024 under Section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, read with the Anti-Dumping Rules, 1995.

The review confirmed that the risk of dumping still exists, and the domestic industry would be harmed if the duty was removed. Based on this, the Ministry of Finance issued the latest notification to extend the duty.
