Authority highlights measures to support fair trade.
The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), Department of Commerce, organised a media briefing in New Delhi on the theme “Trade Remedy Measures: Creating a Level Playing Field for Indian Industry”. Addressing the media, Additional Secretary and Director General Trade Remedies Shri Amitabh Kumar highlighted DGTR’s role as India’s integrated trade remedy authority, responsible for conducting anti-dumping, anti-subsidy and safeguard investigations and recommending appropriate measures to the government in accordance with domestic laws and World Trade Organization obligations.
During the briefing, Shri Kumar emphasised that trade remedy measures are instruments of fair trade and are intended to address dumped imports, subsidised imports and import surges that cause injury to domestic industry. He also highlighted recent reforms undertaken by DGTR, including the System for Ensuring Fair Trade through Unified Digital Platform (SETU), launched on October 24, 2025, for end-to-end digital processing of trade remedy cases. Other initiatives highlighted included the Economic Interest Questionnaire, the Helpdesk and Facilitation Centre, the Trade Remedies Advisory Cell and simplified application formats aimed at improving access to trade remedy mechanisms, particularly for fragmented industries and MSMEs.
