“Abolition of anti-dumping duty on PTA is a huge move for polyester yarn manufacturers like us. We welcome and appreciate the Government of India’s efforts in abolishing anti-dumping duty on PTA to make critical input for manmade fibers easily available at competitive prices. It would go a long way in strengthening domestic manufacturing of manmade fibers and textile players at large, which would also make them more competitive in international markets.
Abolition of current antidumping duty, which is in the range of $23 to $62 per ton on imports from EU and China, means reduction in cost of raw material for polyester yarn manufacturers and easy availability of raw materials too. This would help us to improve our profitability during the next financial year” – Madhusudhan Bhageria, CMD, Filatex India Ltd.
