Injury Analysis

by quarter or month by month analysis within the relevant periods. However, if
any such analysis has been undertaken, it should be ensured that the analysis is
undertaken in a manner which ensures that trends of each of the parameters is
micro analyzed for enhanced clarity of the impact of dumping on the DI. This period
can be the whole of injury period or a part of such period, which may indicate the
initiation of dumping and injury thereof. It is therefore vital that the analysis is done
objectively and consistently.

11.7.32. For determination of material injury, the specific analyses of factors having
a bearing on the state of the industry are to be undertaken by analyzing trends
over time i.e., whether its vital performance indicators attributable to the product
concerned, collectively show a significant deterioration. Annex II contains specific
but a non-exhaustive list of economic factors that must necessarily be considered
for assessing the impact of dumped imports on theDI. The parameters are to be
examined only for the PUC in an investigation. The mandatory factors of injury
having a bearing on the state of industry which have to be analyzed independently
are:
(i) The natural and potential decline in
• sales in quantity;
• profits;

• output and market share;
• return on investments;
• utilization of capacity; and
• productivity.

(ii) The factors affecting domestic prices
(iii) The magnitude of the margin of dumping and

(iv) The Actual and potential negative effects on
• cash flow;
• inventories;

• employment;
• wages;
• growth;
• ability to raise capital or investments
