India has launched an anti-dumping investigation into Nylon-6 imports from China and Russia after domestic manufacturers raised concerns over unfair pricing and market injury.
The Directorate General of Trade Remedies, under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, initiated the probe after finding preliminary evidence that exporters from both countries sold Nylon-6 in India below normal value.
Nylon-6 serves as a critical input for textiles, industrial yarns, engineering plastics, and automotive components. Indian producers stated that a rise in low-priced imports has hurt profitability, reduced output, and eroded market share.
According to the DGTR notification, the investigation will assess the extent of dumping and its impact on the domestic industry during the defined period. The authority will also examine whether these imports pose a continued threat to Indian manufacturers.
If the findings confirm dumping and material injury, DGTR may recommend anti-dumping duties to restore fair competition.
The authority has invited exporters, importers, and other stakeholders to submit information within the specified timelines.
The move underlines India’s ongoing efforts to protect domestic manufacturing from unfair trade practices while remaining aligned with World Trade Organization norms.
