Amine stocks gained up to 12% on Wednesday after the government recommended an anti-dumping duty on ethylene diamine imports from China, the European Union, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan. Balaji Amines hit a fresh 52-week high, while Alkyl Amines climbed to its highest level in 2026, driven by hopes of improved pricing power for domestic manufacturers.
The government's recommendation to impose an anti-dumping duty on ethylene diamine imports from China, the European Union, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan put amines stocks back in the spotlight on Wednesday.
The positive development kept buying interest strong in the amines sector.
Balaji Amines' share price rose more than 12% and touched an intraday high of ₹2,320. The stock also hit a fresh 52-week high and continues to trade near that level.
Similarly, Alkyl Amines Chemicals gained more than 7.5% and touched an intraday high of ₹1,939. The stock is now trading at its highest level in 2026 so far.
Balaji Speciality Chemicals, the subsidiary of Balaji Amines Ltd, had filed an application before the Designated Authority. The application sought the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation into imports of ethylene diamine from China, the European Union, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan.
Following the review of the application, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) decided to launch the inquiry by way of a public notification on March 25, 2025. The inquiry was carried out to determine whether there was any dumping of ethylene diamine imports from the aforementioned countries in the Indian market. The authority was also asked to recommend an appropriate anti-dumping duty if it found that domestic producers had suffered because of such imports.
The government's recommendation follows the conclusion of the trade-remedies investigation. According to the findings, low-priced imports of ethylene diamine from the four regions had hurt the domestic industry.
If the Finance Ministry accepts the recommendation and notifies the duty, cheaper imports could become less competitive. This may improve the pricing power of domestic manufacturers and create a more favourable business environment
