India has imposed anti-dumping duty on a certain type of glass from Iran and also Chinese aluminium radiators to protect domestic industry from cheap imports.

While an anti-dumping duty of up to $55.59 per tonne was imposed on clear float glass, $22.89 was slapped on imports of aluminium radiators. The duty on both the products would be effective for a period of five years, the Finance Ministry said in a notification.

Clear float glass is used in construction, refrigeration, mirror and solar energy industries. The product is a superior quality of glass.

The Commerce Ministry’s investigation arm — Directorate General of Anti dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) — in a separate probe, had arrived at a conclusion that these products had been dumped into India and had caused material injury to the domestic industry in the country.
