India’s Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), under the commerce ministry, has launched an antidumping investigation into resorcinol imported from China and Japan, following an application by domestic producer Atul Ltd. The chemical is used mainly in tyre and rubber products, as well as resin bonding applications. If the probe finds dumping that has caused material injury to domestic players, the DGTR may recommend imposing an antidumping duty on imports.
