DGTR suo motu initiates probe into dumping of aluminium products from China, Malaysia, Vietnam

New Delhi The Commerce Ministry's investigation arm, DGTR has 'suo-motu' initiated probes against the alleged dumping of aluminium products by China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand as India seeks to guard MSME units against cheap imports from these countries, according to a notification. Usually, anti-dumping investigations are initiated by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) based on an application filed by domestic producers.

However, since fragmented industries often lack the know-how for trade remedy probes, the directorate investigates such matters on its own initiative.
