India launches anti-dumping probe into chemical imports from China and Switzerland

The Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD), an arm of the Commerce Ministry of India, has launched an anti-dumping probe over imports of Diketopyrrolo Pyrrole Pigment Red 254 from China and Switzerland.

The move comes after a domestic producer filed a petition with DGCA over alleged dumping of the chemicals into India.

Diketopyrrolo Pyrrole Pigment Red 254 is a chemical primarily used in the paint industry.

DGAD said that it has found sufficient evidence of dumping from China and Switzerland.
