Key Findings –

1. The domestic industry has continued to suffer injury due to increasing volume of dumped imports, despite the anti-dumping duties in force
2. The producers in China PR have excess capacities, which is significantly higher than the demand in India. Considering that such producers are highly export oriented, they are likely to divert such capacities for dumping in India. 
3. India is a very important market for producers in China PR and UAE, who have continued to sell the subject goods below the cost of sales of the domestic industry, causing injury to an industry in fragile state.
4. The domestic industry has undertaken various measures to become more competitive and cost efficient, which has led to a decline in the cost of the product and ultimately, reduction in prices to the end-consumer.
5. There exists no demand-supply gap in the country and the Indian industry is competing in a healthy market situation.
