India’s CPMA files petition for anti-dumping probe on LLDPE imports from seven countries

India’s Chemicals and Petrochemicals Manufacturers Association (CPMA) has formally submitted a request to initiate an anti-dumping investigation into imports of LLDPE from seven countries: Kuwait, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the authorities have acknowledged receipt of the application and assigned a case number. The investigation will proceed in accordance with the relevant legal framework, including applicable acts, rules, and procedural guidelines.

CPMA, which represents the interests of India's domestic chemical and petrochemical industry, is a key body advocating for measures to protect member companies from what it perceives as unfair practices while promoting innovation and technology development.

Data from UN COMTRADE reveals that in 2024, India imported nearly 895,000 tons of LLDPE under HS code 390110. The seven countries named in the investigation were all among the top ten suppliers to India, collectively accounting for 67% of total imports. Notably, the United States—ranked as the third-largest LLDPE supplier to India—was not included in the scope of the probe.
