Abolition of anti-dumping duty
  • India has removed the anti-dumping duty on Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA), a key raw material for the manufacture of manmade fiber and yarn. GST on cotton is 5% across the entire textile value chain whereas GST rates on manmade fibers and textiles are 18%,12% and 5% on fiber, filament yarn/spun yarn and fabrics respectively. This inversion in the duty structure was corrected. So, rationalization of GST on the manmade fiber value chain will help to boost growth of the manmade fiber sector.
  • India has abolished the anti-dumping duty on viscose staple fibres, key raw materials for manmade fibre.
