The Delhi High Court extended time to provide feedback until after July 19, 2021
The DGTR (Directorate General of Trade Remedies) has been directed to extend the deadline for providing feedback on the anti-dumping investigation by Delhi High Court. The solar cells coming from the manufacturers based in China, Thailand, and Vietnam are under anti-dumping investigation.
The deadline was moved in response to a petition filed by the Solar Power Developers Association.
The last date to submit the feedback was 26th June 2021 but now as moved further.
A petition was filed by the Indian Solar Manufacturers Association on behalf of Mudra Solar PV from Adani, Jupiter Solar Power, and Jupiter International Limited. Based on this Petition, the DGRT (Directorate General of Trade Remedies) started this inquiry and on 15th May, this year, the DGTR (Directorate General of Trade Remedies) initiated an anti-dumping probe on imports of solar cells imported from China, Vietnam, and Thailand.
However, the SPDA (The Solar Power Developers Association) has now filed a petition in Delhi High Court requesting to cancel the investigation.
The SPDA (The Solar Power Developers Association) in the petition said, “Such a course of action would cause injury to the solar power generation industry. Promotion of inefficiencies of one industry should not be allowed to adversely affect the other user industry. Moreover, largely solar modules of new and updated technologies are being imported now while the solar cells of the applicants are of different technology.”
SPDA (The Solar Power Developers Association) wanted the court to order a stay on the investigation which didn’t happen. The court has extended the deadline to submit the feedback.
An ISMA (The Indian Solar Manufacturers Association) member in an interview with Mercom said that “We also wanted to be a party in this matter, and the Court has granted that. The matter had been deferred to July 19, and until then, the department can carry on with its investigation.”
He further added that “We should wait for the findings and then come to any conclusion. The SPDA (The Solar Power Developers Association) was hoping for a stay, and then it would have taken another three to four months for things to move forward, but that didn’t happen, and now July 19 has been set as the next date for the hearing.”
