Later, Borosil Renewables, in an exchange filing on Wednesday, lauded the imposition of countervailing duty, which is expected to address the damage caused by dumped and subsidised imports. "This measure will not only protect domestic manufacturers but also accelerate investments in expansion of local production, driving exponential growth across India's solar glass industry," the filing read.
The Ministry of Finance extended countervailing duty for a fresh five-year period, superseding the earlier 2021 notification. The duty applies to textured toughened (tempered) coated and uncoated glass with a minimum light transmission of 90.5%, thickness not exceeding 4.2 mm, and at least one dimension exceeding 1,500 mm. The product is also commercially known as solar glass, solar PV glass, high transmission photovoltaic glass, and heat strengthened glass.
