Imports of subject goods from Malaysia increased from 626,362 MT in 2016-17 to 2,596,225 MT in January-June, 2019 (on annualized basis) thus showing an increase of 314 percent; (b) quarterly movement in imports shows that imports were just 27,206 MT in October-December, 2018, which surged to 804528 MT in April-June, 2019 thus showing a surge of almost 29 times increase; (c) this increase in import at low prices has led to idling of significant capacities of the domestic industry during the period of investigation; (d) though domestic industry has huge installed capacity, it is unable to increase its production of subject goods despite increase in domestic demand of the subject goods; (e) market share of the domestic industry has declined significantly. and came to a preliminary conclusion that critical circumstances exist where delay in imposition of safeguard measures would cause irreparable damage to the domestic producers and recommended an increase in rate of duty of customs by 5 percent, for a period of 180 days, on imports of subject goods, originating in Malaysia and imported under India- Malaysia Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement. Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 25 of the Customs Act, 1962 (52 of 1962) read with rule 9 of the said Rules, the Central Government, on being satisfied that it is necessary in the public interest so to do, hereby increases the rate of duty of customs by 5 percent, on imports of subject goods for 180 days, originating in Malaysia and imported under India-Malaysia Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement by making the following further amendments in the notification of the Government of India in the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue), No.53/2011-Customs, dated the 1st July, 2011, published in the Gazette of India, vide number G.S.R. 499 (E), dated the 1st July, 2011, namely: - In the said notification, (i) after Sl.
