facing proceedings in overseas trade defence jurisdictions, and in ensuring a level
playing eld for them in accordance with WTO rules.

This Handbook outlines the procedures followed by TDW in coordinating with
Indian industry, ministries/ departments of Government of India, State Governments
and other stakeholders, in discharging this role. It also sets out the timelines
