Period of Investigation – 1^st April 2024 – 31^st March 2025 (12 months).

Injury Period – 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and the period of investigation.

Facts of the present case – The application was filed for redressal of dumping of Diisononyl Phthalate from Malaysia and South Korea. The domestic industry claimed that it has suffered on account of significant increase in dumped imports. The subject imports have undercut the prices of the domestic industry and depressed its prices. The domestic industry is operating at underutilized capacity and suffered due to accumulated inventories. The profitability of the domestic industry has declined, and it has incurred financial losses along with negative returns on investments. The Authority therefore found sufficient prima facie evidence of material injury being caused to the domestic industry by the dumped imports, justifying initiation of an anti-dumping investigation. However, the imports from Korea were found to be at injurious prices, and therefore, the investigation has been initiated with respect to imports from Malaysia.

Initiation of anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of BIS (2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-4-Peridyl) Sebacate (UV 770) from European Union and China (27.09.2025)

Period of Investigation – 1^st April 2024- 31^st March 2025

Injury Period – 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and the period of investigation.Facts of the present case – The present application was filed for redressal of dumping and injury to the applicants from imports UV-770 from the European Union and China. The evidence submitted by the domestic industry showed that the imports from the subject countries have materially retarded the establishment of the domestic industry in India. The Authority has noted that the dumping has prevented price increase in India and forced the domestic industry sell its goods at below the cost of sale. The performance of the domestic industry is much below the projected sales prices, capacities and sales volume. Instead of projected profits it has incurred significant losses, cash losses and recorded negative return on investment. Accordingly, the Authority found it appropriate to initiate the anti-dumping investigation.
