ATMA (Automotive Tyre Manufacturer Association) is lobbying for a anti dump duty on truck and bus radial tyres import in India. According to them, import of truck/bus radial tyres surged nearly 30 per cent in the first half of 2016-17 . Import of TBRs has crossed the level of 1.4 lakh units per month in the current fiscal from 40 thousand units per month in FY 2013-14, an increase of about 400 per cent in three years, There is no reprieve from indiscriminate import and dumping of radial tyres especially TBRs from China.
ATMA said the dumping of TBR tyres at such a large scale is also adversely affecting the interests of rubber growers in India.
