US Imposes 123% Anti-Dumping Duty on Indian Solar Photovoltaic Imports

The US Department of Commerce has imposed a 123 percent anti-dumping duty on solar photovoltaic imports from India, with an effective rate of 107.77 percent after adjustments. This duty targets four Indian manufacturers—Mundra Solar PV, Mundra Solar Energy, Kowa Company, and Premier Energy Photovoltaic—accused of selling below fair value. Combined with earlier countervailing duties, total tariffs could reach 234 percent, exceeding rates on imports from Indonesia and Laos. Indian solar exports, valued at around $2 billion in FY2024-25, primarily serve the US market, while the Indian government promotes domestic manufacturing to reduce reliance on China.
