India has imposed a five-year anti-dumping duty on plastic processing machines from China and Taiwan. The move follows DGTR’s investigation to shield domestic manufacturers from low-cost imports and aims to prevent injury to local production capacity.
The Indian government has imposed an anti-dumping duty on imports of plastic processing or injection moulding machines originating from China and Taiwan. This duty will remain in force for five years, according to a notification by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) issued on Thursday.
The decision follows a detailed investigation by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), which concluded that the low-priced imports were causing material injury to Indian manufacturers by undercutting market prices and affecting fair competition.

Plastic processing machines, particularly injection moulding machines, are essential in producing a wide range of plastic components used across industries including packaging, automotive, electronics, and consumer goods. These machines were found to be entering Indian markets at unfairly low prices, undermining domestic players.
In a separate notification, the CBIC has clarified that mica pearlescent pigments—commonly used in the automobile sector for creating shiny coating finishes—will not attract countervailing duty if imported from China. However, the applicability of anti-dumping duty will vary depending on the specific pigment grade.
India had earlier imposed anti-dumping duties on mica-based pearlescent pigments imported from China in November 2023. This update refines that regulation by excluding certain automotive-grade pigments from countervailing duties, subject to classification checks.
Product Category | Affected Countries | Duration | Duty Type |
Injection moulding machines | China, Taiwan | 5 years | Anti-dumping duty |
Mica pearlescent pigments | China | Varies by grade | Anti-dumping duty (conditional) |
The five-year anti-dumping duty aims to level the playing field for Indian manufacturers who have been facing stiff pricing pressure from imported machines. By restricting unfairly priced imports, the government expects improved competitiveness and utilisation of domestic production capacities.
The move reflects a broader trend of targeted trade interventions by Indian authorities to shield key industrial sectors from global pricing distortions.
