Dumped Imports Continue To Erode MSME Manufacturing Capacity: C-DEP Report
A new report from India's Centre for Domestic Economy Policy Research (C-DEP), released on June 19, warns that rampant dumped imports are systematically dismantling the manufacturing capacity of the nation's Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The study, 'Impact of Anti-Dumping Duties in India,' urgently calls for the timely implementation of anti-dumping duties to stem a projected economic loss potentially soaring to INR 2.70 lakh crore by 2030, highlighting that critical sectors like sublimation paper and mobile phone back covers are already facing severe shutdowns and market share erosion. This comes as the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has recently recommended duties in multiple cases, including a final ruling for nylon filament yarn in March 2026, yet implementation often faces delays.
