With an aim to guard local manufacturers from cheap imports from the neighboring country, Government of India has imposed anti-dumping duties on five Chinese products, including certain aluminum goods and some chemicals, for five years.

The duties have been imposed on certain flat-rolled products of aluminum; sodium hydrosulfite (used in dye industry); silicone sealant (used in the manufacturing of solar photovoltaic modules, and thermal power applications); hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) component R-32; and hydrofluorocarbon blends (both have used in refrigeration industry).

These duties were imposed following recommendations of the commerce ministry's investigation arm Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR). The DGTR in separate probes has concluded that these products have been exported at a price below normal value in Indian markets, which has resulted in dumping.
