DGAD had already had to extend its original deadline for filing responses for its anti-dumping investigation earlier this month.

India’s Directorate General of Anti-Dumping & Allied Duties (DGAD) has published a letter revealing which Chinese, Taiwanese and Malaysian solar cell producers and exporters will be sampled in its ongoing anti-dumping investigation.

DGAD noted that it had received a large number of responses from companies based in China and Taiwan and would proceed with sampling by taking the largest percentage of the volume of the exports by the responding parties.

Meanwhile, the original date for a DGAD decision on anti-dumping, 22 September, has already passed with no recommendation made.
