According to the report of Indian newspapers, the Indian government has decided to extend the period of anti-dump taxation against the tires produced by China and Thailand so as to protect it’s own tire industry.

According to Indian Ministry of Finance, the anti-dumping measures against imports of  non-radical tires from China and Thailand would be extended to October 7 this year. Ever since October 8 last year, India has began to exercise anti-dumping duties on these products.
