New Delhi, Sept 24 (KNN) The European Union has imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty of up to 31.2 per cent on imports of water and sewage pipes from India for six months, a move which is likely to hit the Indian exporters.
 
The European Commission in its anti-dumping probe has "concluded at this stage that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the dumped imports from India", as reported by media.

On the basis of this conclusion "provisional measures should be imposed to prevent further injury being caused to the Union industry by the dumped imports," the Commission has said in its Official Journal.

The Commission had initiated an anti-dumping investigation with regard to imports into the EU of "tubes and pipes of ductile cast iron", used for drinking water supply, sewage disposal and irrigation of agricultural land, originating from India on December 20, 2014. (KNN Bureau)
