Excess Capacity Allegations

India among 16 nations accused of structural overcapacity, large trade surpluses, underutilized production. Other targets: Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Switzerland, Norway, South Korea

Tariff Threat by Summer

Investigations could trigger new tariffs by July 2026 when temporary 10% tariffs expire. Public hearing May 5. Completion expected before summer. Replaces Supreme Court-struck reciprocal tariff program

India's Export Risk

Textile, garment, solar panel, electronics exports at risk. US already bans Xinjiang cotton products. Probe expansion could hit India's $77.5 billion exports to US. Investigation ahead of Trump-Xi Beijing meeting April 2026
