What is the basis for India's antidumping probe on cyanuric chloride imports from China and the EU?

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) initiated the antidumping investigation following a formal application by Superform Chemistries Ltd., the sole domestic producer of cyanuric chloride in India, which submitted prima facie evidence of injury—including increased import volumes from China and the EU in absolute and relative terms—and claimed that dumped imports caused price depression, financial losses, negative cash profits, loss before interest, negative returns on capital employed, and severely underutilized production capacity (single-digit percentage utilization).

Why does Superform Chemistries consider imported cyanuric chloride from China and the EU to be directly competitive with its domestic product?

Superform Chemistries asserts there is no significant difference between domestically produced cyanuric chloride and imports from China and the EU across all material dimensions: physical and chemical characteristics, manufacturing processes, functions, uses, specifications, pricing, distribution, marketing, and tariff classification—making them technically and commercially substitutable.
