(i) the subject goods have continued to enter the Indian market from the subject country at prices less than their normal
values and the dumping margins are substantial and above de minimis , though the volume is low;
(ii) the performance of the domestic industry has declined due to decline in demand and presence of dumped imports
during the injury investigation period but the domestic industry has not suffered material injury during the period of investigation
due to the dumped imports;
(iii) the goods are likely to be exported at dumped prices in the event of cessation of anti- dumping duty and dumping is
likely to continue or recur; and
(iv) there is a strong likelihood of recurrence of injury to the domestic industry in the event of cessation of anti-dumping duty
because of continued dumped imports from the subject country,
and has recommended continued imposition of the anti-dumping duty against the subject goods, originating in, or exported
from, the subject country.
