India has initiated maximum number of anti-dumping investigations, which is 197, on a range of imported industrial products in 2008-09, against 151 in 2007-08, in a bid to protect domestic industry from cheap imports during the time of recession.
Official sources said that in WTO parlance, where one such check out of a product against three countries is considered as three investigations, India had set off 197 anti-dumping investigations last fiscal. In this, findings issued by the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping & Allied Duties (DGAD) were against 65 countries, while there were 35 countries which were subject to assessment after the existing duration of the anti-dumping duty was over or about to be end.
In addition, out of the 43 findings issued by DGAD on fresh and review cases in 2008-09, 31 cases were against China. The Designated Authority in DGAD and Additional Secretary in the Commerce Ministry, Mr R. Gopalan, said the perceptible spurt in anti-dumping duty during the second half of the last fiscal was in response to the felt concerns of domestic industry when it was under the blow of a downturn.
