India has imposed anti-dumping duties on five Chinese products—unframed glass mirrors, isopropyl alcohol, sulphur black, cellophane transparent film, and thermoplastic polyurethane—to protect domestic industries from underpriced imports. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) recommended these measures after investigations revealed that these products were being sold in India below normal value, causing material injury to local manufacturers. The duties, effective for five years, vary by product: unframed glass mirrors face a duty of $234 per tonne; isopropyl alcohol, used in medical and industrial applications, is taxed between $82 and $217 per tonne; sulphur black, a dyeing agent, incurs up to $389 per tonne; cellophane transparent film, a packaging material, is levied at $1.34 per kg; and thermoplastic polyurethane, utilized in automotive, medical, and electronics industries, is charged between $0.93 and $1.58 per kg.
