New Delhi, Nov. 9

The Designated Authority in the Commerce Ministry has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into the import of sodium tripoly phosphate (STPP), a solid inorganic compound used in household cleaning products from China. In response to a petition filed by Tata Chemicals Ltd, the Authority has initiated the probe against China on the subject goods. The Authority found sufficient evidence of dumping of the subject goods from China, injury to the domestic industry and existen ce of causal link between the dumping and injury to justify a preliminary probe. The Authority further held that there is sufficient evidence that the normal value of the subject goods in China is significantly higher than the ex-factory export price indicating that the subject goods are being dumped into the Indian market by exporters from China. Various economic parameters relating to the injury span and production, sales, return on investment and cash flow declined over the injury period which is reckoned from April 1, 2008, to March 31, 2009.
