notification No. 7/28/2020-DGTR, dated the 8th March, 2021, in the Gazette of

there is continued dumping of the subject goods from subject countries and the
imports are likely to enter the Indian market at dumped prices in the event
of expiry of duty;
(ii) though the performance of the domestic industry has
improved till 2018-19 from the base year, its performance has suffered
deterioration within the period of investigation, and thus, the domestic
industry remains vulnerable due to dumping of the subject goods from the
subject countries and there is likelihood of injury in the event of expiry of
duty;
(iii) the information on record shows likelihood of continuation or
recurrence of dumping and injury in case the anti-dumping duty in force is
allowed to cease at this stage;
and has recommended continued imposition of
anti-dumping duty on the subject goods,
originating in or exported from the
subject countries.

sub-sections (1) and (5) of section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, read with
