India Reimposes Anti-Dumping Duties on Chinese Titanium Dioxide Imports for Five Years
India has reimposed anti-dumping duties of 460 to 681 per tonne on specified titanium dioxide imports from China for five years following a fresh investigation by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies. The investigation found that Chinese imports were sold at dumped prices, causing material injury to domestic producers. This decision follows a legal challenge by the Indian Paint Association and a Calcutta High Court order to reconsider an earlier duty imposed in May 2025. Some applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and textiles are excluded from the levy.
