On December 19, 2025, China's Ministry of Commerce officially confirmed that it had submitted a request for consultations with the World Trade Organization (WTO) regarding India's subsidy measures for photovoltaic (PV) products and tariff measures on information and communication technology products. China stated that India's relevant measures are suspected of violating WTO rules on "national treatment" and constitute prohibited "import substitution subsidies." This marks another significant trade action following China's challenge against India's subsidy measures for electric vehicles (EVs) and cells in October 2025.
