India anti-dumping duty measures

India has taken several measures to protect domestic industries through the extension and implementation of anti-dumping duties on various imported goods.

In late September 2026, the Indian Ministry of Finance extended existing anti-dumping duties on decor paper imported from China until March 26, 2027. This move, based on recommendations from the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), aims to shield local markets and employment from low-priced imports. The ministry also extended duties on calcined gypsum powder from several Middle Eastern nations and natural mica-based pearl industrial pigments from China.

Shortly thereafter, India implemented new anti-dumping duties on a variety of jute products from Bangladesh, including yarn, twine, and sacking bags. Following a mid-term review by the DGTR, the government established a specific tariff structure targeting between 36 and 55 Bangladeshi companies. While some manufacturers were granted duty-free status, others face specific rates, and unlisted entities are subject to significantly higher penalties to prevent harm to India’s domestic jute industry.
