17.50. If the review application is based on a change in the variables like normal
value, export price, non-injurious price, dumping margin or injury margin, then it
must necessarily contain the details of such changes along with necessary evidence.

17.51. If the application seeks revocation of the duties, the applicant is required to
provide evidence of the grounds on the basis of which such a claim is made.

17.52. A review for revocation also includes an examination of the current economic
performance of the Domestic Industry as part of assessing whether the injury would
be likely to recur following any revocation of the anti-dumping measure.

Mid Term Review on Suo Moto Basis
17.53. For initiating MTR on its own initiative, the Authority can rely on many
sources of information namely:

(i) Letter/representation with credible information, which prima facie shows
the need for suo motu initiation;
(ii) Credible news reports in print or electronic media;and

(iii) In house analysis based on available source of information regarding import
prices and domestic prices of the subject goods by the Directorate.
17.54. The change in constitution/ ownership and its consequential impact on
costs on account of merger/ amalgamation/ acquisition/ liquidation/ closure etc. of
the applicant domestic industry can also be the reason for initiation of MTR on suo
motu basis.

17.55. In above situations, the views/comments of stakeholders can also be sought
on the website of the Directorate. Based on feedback/information received the
Authority can take decision on initiation of Mid Term Review investigation.

Comprehensive extended Mid Term Review
17.56. If the application for MTR is filed by only one exporter from a subject country
whereas there are multiple exporters from that country who were given individual
duty rates, in that case it is advisable to initiate MTR against the subject country as a
whole. This would entail initiation to review dumping, injury and likelihood against
all the exporters of that particular country.
