India's trade-remedy authorities continued to examine imports of industrial chemicals and polymer-related products during the final week of September. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) updated its investigation list on September 29, including cases covering pentaerythritol from Russia, copolymer polyol from China, PET film above 100 microns from multiple countries and carbon raiser from China. The move comes amid increasing scrutiny of imported industrial inputs and concerns over the impact of low-priced overseas supplies on domestic manufacturers. For India's non-tyre rubber and allied industries, such investigations are significant because many manufacturers depend on imported polymers, chemicals and speciality intermediates. Any subsequent anti-dumping or safeguard measures could alter landed costs, supplier choices and domestic availability. The latest developments underline the government's continued focus on balancing import availability with domestic manufacturing interests.
