OCCL Limited Initiates Countervailing Duty Investigation on Insoluble Sulphur Imports
OCCL Limited has initiated a countervailing duty investigation on 'Insoluble Sulphur' imports from China PR. The DGTR has launched the probe based on OCCL's application as the sole domestic producer. The investigation covers alleged subsidy programs and potential injury to the domestic industry. Financial impact is not yet quantifiable.
The investigation could potentially lead to the imposition of countervailing duties on imports, which could impact pricing and market dynamics for Insoluble Sulphur. However, the financial impact is not yet quantifiable, hence the medium impact.
The initiation of an investigation is a procedural step. While it aims to protect the domestic industry, the outcome and financial impact are uncertain at this stage, making the sentiment neutral.
OCCL Limited has announced the initiation of a countervailing duty investigation concerning imports of "Insoluble Sulphur" originating from China PR. The investigation has been launched by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, vide Notification F. No. 6/48/2026 -DGTR dated 30 September 2026, published in the Gazette of India on 7 October 2026.
The company filed the application for this investigation in its capacity as the sole producer of the subject goods in India, representing the domestic industry. The investigation period is from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The DGTR has found prima facie evidence of subsidization of the subject goods, material injury to the domestic industry, and a causal link between the subsidization and the injury.
The investigation will examine 79 alleged subsidy programs of the Government of China PR to determine the existence, degree, and effect of the alleged subsidization. The DGTR will recommend the amount of countervailing duty, if any, that would be adequate to remove the injury to the domestic industry. The financial impact of this investigation is currently not quantifiable and will depend on the final findings of the DGTR and the subsequent decision by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India. OCCL Limited will keep the stock exchanges informed of material developments.
