India probes dumping of solar cells by China

India has initiated a probe against the dumping of solar cells into the Indian market by China, Malaysia, Chinese Taipei and the US. The Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties of the Ministry of Commerce is investigating the matter.

The authority claims to have retrieved substantial evidence of dumping of the goods mentioned. This news first came into the spotlight when the Solar Manufacturers’ Association, on behalf of Indosolar Ltd, Jupiter Solar Power Ltd and Websol Energy Systems, filed an application citing the concerns of dumping. The authority has made efforts to ascertain the position from other known Indian producers but “none of them provided the required information in the prescribed format,” says the notification.
