Indian Trade Remedies Review 2021

It was business as usual with Indian trade remedy investigations in 2021, which saw 92 products facing investigations across 17 product sectors and 33 countries/regions.

2021 also saw an unpredictable trend of only 32% of positive recommendations being accepted by Ministry of Finance and 39% being rejected or time-barred. 15% of cases being terminated by DGTR itself. In addition, India also for the first time, suspended trade remedy measures for a period of 1 year in respect of certain steel products.

Trade remedy law continued its evolution with the conclusion of India's first ever Quantitative Restriction Safeguard investigation, introduction of anti-absorption provisions and taking a step towards considering public interest in Anti-Dumping/Anti-Subsidy investigations by proposing a questionnaire response.

Tribunal also delivered an important judgment which required Ministry of Finance to give reasons for rejecting the recommendations of DGTR.
