India begins anti-dumping probes against imports of Glycine chemical from China
If it is established that the dumping has caused material injury to domestic players, the DGTR would recommend the imposition of duties on the imports. The Finance Ministry takes the final decision to impose these duties
The Indian government has launched an investigation into imports of Glycine, a chemical used as a flavor enhancer and pharmaceutical ingredient, from China. The Commerce Ministry's Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) initiated the probe after receiving a complaint from domestic manufacturer Avid Organics. The manufacturer alleged that the cheap Chinese imports were causing material injury to domestic producers and requested the imposition of anti-dumping duties on the imports, according to a DGTR notification.
The investigation will consider data from 2022 to 2025 and determine the existence, degree, and effect of the dumping. If the investigation finds that the dumping has caused material injury to domestic players, the DGTR will recommend the imposition of duties on the imports, which would then be decided by the Finance Ministry. The move comes amid U.S.-China trade tensions and China's significant industrial overcapacity, which poses a risk of cheap Chinese goods being dumped in India.
India has initiated similar investigations against dumped imports of certain goods from China in recent months.
