Impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports surge: Industry
 
Various industry bodies have sought immediate government intervention through the imposition of anti-dumping duties, claiming India has seen a surge in imports of Chinese goods recently. For instance, imported viscose staple yarn (VSY) is currently priced around Rs 13 per kilogram, lower than its Indian counterpart. Similarly, rubber gloves are reportedly being sold at a price difference of up to $8 per 1,000 units, while medical device imports have surged as much as 80% across 12 key categories. The toy industry has also reported a rise in imports of knocked-down kits from China, despite mandatory Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification for such goods. The Tamil Nadu Spinning Mills Association (TASMA) has already issued warnings about potential mill closures and job losses due to the unfair price structure created by cheaper Chinese VSY, as per a report.
