The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) on September 30, 2026, notified the Initiation of a countervailing duty investigation concerning imports of “Insoluble Sulphur” originating in or exported from China PR.
The following has been stated:
• DGTR has initiated a countervailing duty investigation concerning imports of Insoluble Sulphur originating in or exported from China PR, following an application by OCCL Limited, the sole Indian producer of the subject goods. The investigation covers the period April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026, and the injury examination covers April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2026. DGTR has found prima facie evidence that Chinese producers/exporters benefited from various actionable subsidies, including preferential loans, tax/VAT incentives, grants, export financing, and provision of goods/services at less than adequate remuneration, causing material injury to the Indian domestic industry despite existing anti-dumping duties.
• Interested parties shall submit information through the SETU Portal under Case ID CVD/OI/008/2026 within 37 days from circulation/transmission of the non-confidential application. File comments on the PUC/PCN methodology within 15 days, concurrently with the above period.
