India Joins Global Coalition Targeting China's Excess Capacity in Key Sectors
What happened
India has joined the United States, the European Commission, and a dozen other economies in a coalition addressing structural excess capacity. This capacity is concentrated in five sectors—autos and EVs, batteries, chemicals, foundational semiconductors, and solar panels—which are globally dominated by China. The coalition aims to coordinate sectoral action against non-market policies and practices that distort markets.

The participating nations are concerned that this structural excess capacity could cripple domestic industries, displace local production, and undermine economies. They are seeking an end to subsidies and dumping practices that China has been blamed for.
India is positioning itself as a strategic partner in efforts to counter China's global market dominance.
