New Delhi-IBNS-CMEDIA: The ongoing US-China trade war has triggered a spike in Chinese goods entering India, prompting domestic industries to urge the government to impose anti-dumping duties, according to a Business Standard report.
While the exact volume of imports from China remains unclear, the newspaper said the US tariff measures announced by President Donald Trump have been a key driver of this trend.
The influx of Chinese goods is distorting market prices and placing Indian manufacturers at a disadvantage, the report said.
One prominent example cited is viscose staple yarn (VSY), which is being imported at prices approximately ₹13 per kg lower than those of local producers.
Other sectors have also seen a surge, with medical device imports rising by 80% across 12 key product categories, and rubber gloves being sold with a price gap of up to $8 per 1,000 units, the report added.
In response, India is exploring a comprehensive strategy to counter dumping practices, including the enforcement of the Quality Control Order on Chinese goods.
Additionally, the central government has set up an inter-ministerial group to monitor developments and respond swiftly as needed, according to media reports.
