They claimed that the panels from the three countries are sold atunfairly low prices, causing damage to domestic manufacturers.
The period under investigation is from July 2019 to December 2020, on solarpanels coded 8541.40.11 and 8541.10.12.
The Indian ministry held that the prices of solar panels from China, Thailand, andVietnam exceed net export prices significantly, indicating the dumping of theseproducts in India.
Producers and exporters should contact the Indian ministry to register their participation andreceive a questionnaire within 30 days of the probe being announced.
Businesses canask the Indian ministry to extend the time to hand in the questionnaire.
Due to COVID-19, all information relating to the case should be sent by emailto adg11-dgtr@gov.in, adv13-dgtr@gov.in, jd13-dgtr@gov.in, and dd17-dgtr@gov.in.
The MoIT has recommended that Vietnamese producers and exporters complete the questionnairein a timely manner, stay up-to-date on all relevant information, and consider engaginglegal counsel or consultants with considerable experience in anti-dumping casesin India.
Producers were also directed to cooperate with their Indian partners, and shouldwork closely with the MoIT to receive timely support.
Any lack of cooperation may lead to the Indian side deciding to levy the anti-dumpingduties requested by the petitioners, the MoIT said.
Vietnamese products will have less of a competitive edge and may lose part or allof their market share in India if high anti-dumping duties are imposed./.
