11.7.8. The share of imports from subject countries in total imports: this
should be considered in order to see how the share of dumped imports has
changed in relation to total imports in India. This is normally considered on a
percentage basis.

11.7.9. Share in relation to consumption and production: for the purpose, the
market share of various parties is determined in percentage terms. Further, the
Indian industry must be considered in the domestic market. As regards other Indian
producers, while the Authority requires information with regard to their domestic
sales, in a situation where the said information is not readily available, the authority
may consider the production volume reported in standing as the best available
information.

11.7.10. Captive consumption: in a situation where captive consumption of the
DI or the other producers is not significant, the captive consumption may not be
recognized separately for determining volume and market share. However, in a
situation where captive consumption is significant, the demand and market share
could be determined by undertaking analysis twice – once including captive, and
second excluding captive. The captive consumption should not be excluded from
volume analysis.

11.7.11. Assessment of Demand: Demand/consumption of the PUCin the
domestic market is ascertained by taking the total domestic sales and total imports
of the product from all sources. The data is collected over the injury period and
POI. Captive consumption by all the Indian companies should also be considered to
calculate the total demand. Sales made by 100% EOUs to DTA are also to be taken
into account for estimating the total demand. As explained earlier,sales of SEZ for
the PUC are not considered for analysis relating to Anti-dumping investigations.

11.7.12. The import data should generally be taken from DGCI&S. The secondary
source information may also be considered in exceptional cases for the volume
and price analysis during injury period, especially in cases where DGCI&S data is
incomplete or unreliable either on account of import of the PUC taking place under
various HS codes, or the PUC is such that it is difficult to distinguish on the basis of
HS codes.
11.7.13. Volume and market share of imports: with regard to the volume of the
dumped imports, it should be considered whether there has been a significant
