The Indian government has granted a one-month extension for the completion of an anti-dumping investigation into PVC imports. The probe, which began on 26 March 2024, examines PVC imports from China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the US.

The investigation was initiated following a petition from major domestic producers claiming significant harm to India's PVC industry from these imports. While authorities were originally required to issue final findings within 12 months under constitutional provisions, this extension provides additional time for a conclusive determination.

Preliminary findings released on 30 October 2024, recommended substantial tariffs on producers from the seven targeted countries.
