RenewSys, India's largest ethylene vinyl acetate film producer, submitted a petition to the Indian Agency for Anti-Dumping and Related Responsibility (DGAD), requesting ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) for solar modules from Yingkou to China, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, South Korea and Thailand. ) Plate imposes anti-dumping duties.
RenewSys stated that it supports the application of anti-dumping duties filed in the letters of Vishakha Renewables Pvt Ltd and Allied Glasses Pvt Ltd of India, and stated that there is sufficient evidence that EVA plates imported from the above countries were dumped into the Indian market, causing a Substantial damage'.
DGAD also subsequently stated that imported products from these countries have caused enough damage to the domestic industry to prove that starting anti-dumping investigations is compliant.
EVA is a polymer-based component with adhesive and buffering functions for the encapsulation of solar photovoltaic cells. It is one of the key components for maintaining the integration of glass, cell sheet and back/rear glass, and it is mechanical during its service life. Way support module.
Through this new investigation, India’s solar trade conflicts show no sign of slowing down. Recently, the Indian Solar Energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA) announced that it is planning to conduct new anti-dumping investigations on imported solar modules and then withdraw its previous petition. Because 'exporting countries are undergoing more active dumping'.
At the same time, safeguards accountability investigations are still ongoing, and so are India and the United States. Recent actions have formed a compliance agency to verify India’s compliance with World Trade Organization rulings. In addition, there is an anti-dumping investigation against solar glass from Malaysia. , Submitted by Borosil, Gujarat.
However, the recent clarification of solar cell modules by the Indian Ministry of Finance has brought some relief to the Indian solar market, especially for solar energy developers: Imported modules with bypass diodes have been exempt from paying customs duties, as described in the 8541 classification.
