The World Trade Organization (WTO) will set up a panel to examine China’s complaint against India’s production-linked incentives for automobiles, electric vehicles, and renewable energy.
Beijing claims the schemes discriminate against its exporters, while India insists the measures are fully WTO-compliant and aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing. After bilateral talks failed, the panel process was triggered.
Officials said India will vigorously defend its programmes, which follow WTO rules. Several countries, including the US and EU, may join as third parties.
