India holds the distinction of initiating the highest number of anti-dumping measures among all WTO members. Under WTO regulations, these measures are taken to protect the domestic industry. But, critics say the way India interprets and applies the law it seems skewed in favour of large companies. And that by initiating an ever increasing number of cases India is only hurting its downstream industries and imperiling its competitiveness in global markets. Is there a need to review and fine-tune India’s approach towards anti-dumping law?
