India has initiated anti-dumping probes against imports of Glycine from China following a complaint by domestic manufacturer Avid Organics, the Commerce Ministry's Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) announced on Tuesday. The DGTR will examine data from 2022-25 to determine whether dumped Chinese imports have caused material injury to the domestic industry. In a separate notification, the DGTR launched an anti-circumvention investigation into CPVC resin imports from China and South Korea, after three domestic firms alleged the existing anti-dumping duties were being evaded by routing the product through Malaysia, Japan and Thailand. If injury is established, the DGTR will recommend duties, with the Finance Ministry making the final decision. India's trade deficit with China hit a record Rs 9.4 lakh crore ($112.6 billion) in 2025-26.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

India has opened a trade battle on two fronts: an anti-dumping probe into Chinese Glycine and a circumvention investigation into CPVC resin, citing material injury to domestic firms like Avid Organics. All three sources report the DGTR's notification and the trade deficit figures almost identically, making this a straight Reuters/PTI wire story. The focus on the record Rs 9.4 lakh crore trade gap with China frames the probes as a defensive economic move. The Finance Ministry will impose duties if injury is confirmed.
