About 35% of the population in places like New Zealand, Australia and Singapore have CVD, in other areas like Thailand and Philippines, it’s about 20%,” said Stephen O Hara, chief executive at OptiBiotix Health.
Revocation of ADD & CVD on Stainless Steel Raw Material will revive domestic downstream industries
AHMEDABAD, India, Feb 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ All India Stainless Steel Pipes & Tubes Manufacturers Association, in a statement issued today expressed optimism towards the much-needed revival of the domestic stainless steel downstream industries, thanks to the proposed revocation of anti-dumping duty (ADD) and countervailing duty (CVD) on the import of stainless steel raw material.
Debunked misinformation regarding stainless steel imports in India from countries like Indonesia, the association said that the domestic industries cannot alone rely on the monopolies for stainless steel requirements. Since the demand of stainless steel raw material outstrips the supply in India, raw material imports is necessary. The domestic downstream industries are relying for timely delivery at internationally benchmarked price.

I bought a Honda Amaze V CVT diesel demo car from the Honda showroom, but the dealer delivered an accidental car with many problems in just 10 months.
