The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has notified the final anti-dumping duty on imports of textured tempered glass from China and Vietnam, a key component in solar panels, which will remain in place until December 2029. The duty will be calculated based on the difference between a reference price set by the government and the landed price of the glass. The investigation by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) showed that imports of solar glass from China, Vietnam and other countries had risen significantly in recent years, from 29,980 metric tonnes (MT) in 2020-21 to 779,017 MT during the period of investigation (POI). Chinese imports surged from 29,324 MT in 2020-21 to 659,732 MT during the POI, while imports from Vietnam increased from 656 MT to 119,285 MT, with the steepest surge occurring between 2020-21 and 2021-22, as per a report.
