In an era of open trade and globalisation, anti-dumping has acquired a special significance primarily as a means of checking unfair trade practices and promoting fair competition. It is essentially a mechanism of defence provided for under Article VI of GATT 1994 which allows all member countries to apply anti-dumping measures wherever warranted for protecting their domestic industry from unfair competition. We are availing of this facility like all other member countries of the WTO. It is our intention to provide a level playing field to our producers with regard to anti-dumping provisions and to fully safeguard the interests of our domestic industry while facing the challenges of global competition.
