Key Findings –

1. The product under consideration includes Mother Yarn which is multi-filament yarn and cannot be excluded based on end use. Merely because mother yarn is converted into NPUC by the downstream industry does not justify exclusion of mother yarn.
2. High tenacity yarn with denier 840 and above are used in tyre chord fabric applications and is excluded from product scope.
3. The products supplied by the domestic industry including High denier high tenacity yarn, low denier high tenacity yarn and nylon spandex covered yarn cannot be excluded from the product scope.
4. The product manufactured by the domestic industry is like article to the product imported from the subject countries.
5. Quality of a product does not lead to difference in costs and the same cannot be considered for separate PCNs.
6. PNP has been considered as a part of the domestic industry as its inclusion allows a more comprehensive injury assessment and reduces the risk of distortion. 
7. Fire at plant of domestic producers post period of investigation does not impact standing for present investigation.
8. Imports made by Century and Oriilon are negligible in relation to total imports, demand and production. The producers are eligible to constitute domestic industry.
9. Due to practical constraints faced by smaller producers in bifurcating 2 financial years, a 15-months period of investigation has been considered appropriate.
10. Due to participation of a large number of producers and exporters from China, sampling has been undertaken for China.
11. The size of sample considered covers 61% imports from China.
12. The dumping margins for both subject countries is positive and significant.
13. As the conditions of cumulation have been met in the present case, the Authority has cumulatively assessed the impact of imports.
14. The domestic industry has suffered material injury due to dumped imports from subject countries.
15. The volume of subject imports has increased in absolute terms and relative terms.
16. The subject imports have undercut the prices of the domestic industry.
17. The subject imports have suppressed and depressed the prices of the domestic industry in the injury period.
18. The landed price of subject imports is below the cost of sales of the domestic industry.
19. The production and sales of the domestic industry have increased over the injury period as it has compromised on profitability.
20. The domestic industry has suffered financial and cash losses and recorded negative returns in the period of investigation.
21. The ability of the domestic industry to raise capital investment has been severely impacted.
22. The injury margin determined is positive and significant.
23. Injury is not on account of change in technology or plant, exports sales, interest costs or geographical location of the domestic industry.
24. Imposition of anti-dumping duties is not against public interest as it will provide a fair playing field to Indian industry.
25. The domestic industry has suffered higher injury in the present investigation as compared to the last anti-dumping investigation. The anti-dumping duty was recommended by the Authority in the last investigation but was not imposed.
