The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) in India's Commerce and Industry Ministry has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into imports of saccharin from China. Concurrently, DGTR has also commenced a sunset review investigation of countervailing duty on Chinese saccharin imports.

The application for the anti-dumping probe and the sunset review investigation of countervailing duty was filed by Swati Petro Products Ltd and Blue Jet Healthcare Ltd, along with two other producers of saccharin, A.S.Chemopharma and Shree Vardayini Chemical Industries Pvt Ltd.

Furthermore, in March 2022, DGTR began an anti-circumvention investigation to assess the extension of countervailing duty to saccharin imports from Thailand. Subsequently, in July 2022, DGTR recommended the extension of countervailing duty to saccharin imports from Thailand as well.
