India’s anti-dumping duties on CPVC imports from China and South Korea were initially imposed on 26 August 2019 for a period of five years.

These measures have been extended following recommendations by the designated authority to protect the domestic industry.

It was determined that dumping and injury to Indian manufacturers were likely if the existing measures were not extended.
