India’s solar module exports to US face anti-dumping threat

 

The latest anti-dumping duty investigation petitioned by the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade on solar module imports from India, Indonesia and Laos could potentially hurt Indian solar exports, analysts say. This comes following the imposition of anti-dumping duties on Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The petitions seek investigations into illegal trade practices by largely Chinese-owned manufacturers operating in Laos and Indonesia, as well as companies headquartered in India, which are harming the US solar manufacturing industry by violating trade laws. 

Over the past couple of years, driven by surging domestic solar module manufacturing capacity, India has become the fifth-largest exporter to the US, accounting for 7-8% of imports, as per a report.
