Taiwan has taken up India’s safeguard duty on solar cell and module imports at the World Trade organisation (WTO) by requesting consultations, according to a filing dated 11 September.
The filing from the separate customs territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu, stated that it had “a substantial interest” as an exporter of the affected solar products and its wishes to exchange views with India and reach an understanding on the matter.

Malaysia has already taken India up at the WTO on the safeguard duty which was imposed in late July. India's Supreme Court this week also nullified a stay from the Orissa High Court on the duties and a final hearing is due in four weeks.
PV IndiaTech
The PV IndiaTech 2020 conference will continue to bring together all key domestic and overseas stakeholders, including government bodies, investors, and the leading companies today from manufacturing to O&M and asset management. To thrive globally as a major PV power beyond 2020, India has to succeed in unlocking its potential both to manufacture and to lay claim to quality utility-scale solar farms that are providing high returns on investment to site owners.
