The Finance Ministry has imposed provisional anti-dumping duty on import of electical insulators (glass or porcelain) from China.
Electrical insulators are typically used in bushings, disconnectors, circuit breakers, transformers, power transmission and distribution lines, including railways.
The petition seeking anti-dumping probe on import of electrical insulators from China was filed by Aditya Birla Nuvo, Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd, WS Industries, Modern Insulators and Insulator and Elecrical Company.
The provisional anti dumping duty — which will be valid for six months — ranged from $ 287 per tonne to $ 2,042 per tonne depending on the producer.
