|October 16, 2025
CHINA HAS MOVED the World Trade Organization (WTO) against India on the “subsidies” the latter provides for electric vehicles (EVs) and batteries, saying that these incentives give Indian industries an unfair competitive advantage and harm China’s local interests.
In a communication to the multilateral body, Beijing has sought consultation with India on its subsidies for EVs and batteries, a transcript of a media interaction posted on its commerce ministry website said.
“China will take resolute measures to effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of its domestic industries. It has noted that for some time, a number of India’s economic and trade measures have been suspected of violating regulations, which have attracted widespread concern among WTO members,” it added.
"WE URGE INDIA to abide by its relevant WTO commitments and immediately correct its erroneous practices," it said.
