THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY
(SHRI C. R. CHAUDHARY)
(a)& (b): The rising imports from China and other countries do impact the domestic industry including manufacturing sector and MSME enterprises. Government has been implementing various schemes/programmes to help the micro, small and medium enterprises compete effectively with imports from China and other countries. To promote the domestic manufacturing, schemes like ‘Make in India, ‘Digital India’, Software Technology Parks(STPs), Electronics Hardware Technology Park (EHTP) Scheme/ Export Oriented Unit (EOU) Scheme, Special Economic Zone Scheme (SEZ) etc. which provide support for promoting domestic manufacturing capacity in the country, are under implementation.
The details of top 50 Principal Commodity Group-wise India’s importfrom China in terms of quantity and value for the last three years and 2018-19 (upto November, 2018) are attached as Annex-I.
(c)& (d) :Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) initiates trade remedial investigations on the basis of a duly substantiated petition filed by the domestic producer with a prima-facie evidence of injury to the domestic industry. Such applications submitted by domestic industry are processed as per the procedure and within the time limits specified under the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 and the rules made there under. DGTR conducts investigations and recommends imposition of duty, wherever appropriate, to the Department of Revenue by issuing preliminary/final findings. Acting upon recommendations of the DGTR, the Department of Revenue may impose the provisional or definitive duties. As on 18.12.2018, the trade remedial measures are in force on 105 products imported from PR of China.
In order to encourage MSMEs to approach DGTR in case of unfair trade practices being adopted by the exporters and to make them aware of the available trade remedial measures, DGTR has embarked on a series of outreach programmes. These outreach programmes are conducted by the investigation teams while visiting the domestic industries for onsite verification. Further, a facility of Help Desk has been made available at DGTR to guide the domestic manufacturers about the Trade Remedial Measures.
