The Trump administration has imposed duties of 126% on imports of solar cells from India following a “preliminary” determination that subsidised exports from Indian companies were hurting the competitiveness of American solar companies and contravened World Trade Organization agreements on subsidies. The Indian companies under the U.S. Commerce Ministry’s radar included Mundra Solar Energy Pvt. Ltd. and Mundra Solar PV Ltd. - both part of the Adani Group- Premier Energies Photovoltaic Private Limited (Premier) and Waaree Energies Ltd. and Waaree Solar Americas. After this, the U.S. Supreme Court quashed Trump tariffs, calling them unconstitutional. The Commerce department is also conducting concurrent antidumping duty (AD) investigations of solar cells from India, Indonesia, and Laos.
