1. there has been increase in the volume of dumped imports from the subject countries, both in absolute terms as also in relation to total production and market demand of the subject goods in India, resulting in a decline in the market share of the domestic industry;
2. the imports are causing significant price undercutting resulting in price suppressing effect on the domestic industry;

4. decline in the market share has resulted in increase in inventories with the domestic industry in spite of higher capacity utilization;
5. this has led to domestic industry suffering material injury and imposition of final duty is required to offset dumping and injury;
and has recommended to impose definitive anti-dumping duties on all imports of the subject goods, originating in, or exported from, the subject countries;
