It looks like ADD was removed on Caustic soda recently

“After examining the submissions made and issues raised, and considering the facts available on record, the Authority concludes that though the product under consideration 44 has been exported to India from the subject countries below the normal value, it can be seen that the overall health of the domestic industry has improved. The domestic industry has withstood the increased imports from other countries, which were previously subjected to anti-dumping duties and has performed positively despite the same. The information on record does not show any likelihood of recurrence of injury to the domestic industry in the event of revocation of duty from the subject countries.”
“Therefore, the Authority does not recommend continuation of the anti-dumping duty on the imports of subject goods from the subject countries and hereby recommends discontinuance of the ADD levied on the PUC vide Customs Notification No. 55/2017 – Customs (ADD) dated 24 November, 2017.”
And consequently we are seeing imports of Caustic Soda at prices of Rs.32! See the spike in imports in September post the removal on anti-dumping duty.
