(viii) Other known factors and Causal Link: a comprehensive analysis should be
mentioned with a focus stating that that the alleged dumped imports are
actually causing/ not causing the injury. The causality should be direct and
not distantly indicative. The performance of DI vis a vis supporting producers
and other producers (including opposers, if any) may be relevant in this
regard.

(ix) Non-attribution analysis: A comprehensive analysis should be undertaken
with a specific object to analyse and eliminate various factors which
could be otherwise responsible for the injury instead of alleged dumped
imports. The analysis of economic parameters should indicate actual injury
on some or all parameters. The factors like inter se competition between
producers in the country resulting in injury to the applicants should be
carefully seen.
(x) In case of SSR cases where the duties have already been in existence for a
long time, it should be analysed as to how the existing duties have helped
gain ground for the domestic industry and relevance of the duties to the
overall economic health of the industry.

(xi) The economic indicators and information in that regard submitted by co
-operative producer exporter may also be seen, if required.
