The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), a division of the Commerce Ministry in India has terminated an anti-dumping investigation into the import of Chinese fasteners.

In its final findings, the  DGTR said there is no sufficient evidence of dumping and injury to justify the continuation of the investigation.

“Due to lack of required data, the authority is unable to make any determination regarding evidence of dumping and injury to the domestic industry. Therefore, the authority is constrained to terminate the present investigation,” it said.

The directorate had "suo-motu" initiated the probe in September 2023 against the alleged dumping of the product.
