US finalizes up to 249% duties on Indian solar cells — 20hThe United States has finalized steep anti-dumping and countervailing duties on solar cells and panels from India, Indonesia and Laos, with India facing AD 123.04% and CVD 126.09% (Indonesia and Laos rates vary up to 173.7% and 153.67% respectively). The USITC will issue a final injury determination on October 14, 2026; if it finds injury, duties would be formally ordered by early November, impacting Indian exporters and potentially prompting shifts to other markets as the investigation concludes.
