Govt extends anti-dumping duty on Chinese tiles by three months.

  • The Indian ceramic tiles industry is fragmented and cannot match the might of their Chinese counterparts, hence, the government has to come forward for the protection of Indian MSMEs.
  • The ceramic tiles industry in India has a large number of small-scale producers located in Morbi and Himmatnagar in Gujarat.
  • The government has extended anti-dumping duty on imports of various types of porcelain and vitrified tiles from China to protect the domestic industry, primarily micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), by three months, 
  • To save the domestic tiles industry from cheaper imports from China, the government had imposed up to $1.87 per square meter anti-dumping duty in 2016 for five years, which would have expired on March 28, 2021. 
  • Accepting the DGTR recommendation, the finance ministry on Thursday extended anti-dumping duty till June 28, unless it is revoked, superseded, or amended. 
  • Other economies are also facing similar dumping. The US authorities had also taken action against the massive dumping of Chinese tiles in their country in 2019.
