Structured register of government actions in the geoeconomic space — export controls, tariffs, sanctions, FDI screening, subsidies, industrial-policy laws — cross-referenced into the country, minerals, and ETF surface. Charter: docs/IPTM_CHARTER.md.
Severity 1-5 is the qualitative impact rating (1=minor, 5=structural). The bilateral-trade-grounded quant scorer is the next IPTM milestone. RBI (Register Breadth Index) is a complementary structural-breadth indicator from scripts/py/iptm/breadth.py; divergence between RBI and severity is itself informative (high-sev / low-RBI = strategic chokepoint; low-sev / high-RBI = broad but shallow). Every action has at least one primary source URL. Verify-or-don't-file. See also themes, timeline, graph, sankey, map, country exposure, sector exposure, material exposure (+ graph), weekly briefs, portfolio scan, escalation monitor, trans-shipment hubs. Internal triage tools (RSS-poller candidate feed, source-feed health) live under /admin/candidates + /admin/sources. Subscribe via Atom feed (accepts ?country=CN, ?material=lithium, ?issuer=BIS, ?type=export_control, ?etf=SOXX, ?company=NVDA, ?minSeverity=4, ?year=2026, ?q=…) or pull /api/iptm/actions.
India's DGFT issued Notification No. 26/2025-26 on 22 August 2025, amending the import policy condition under Chapter 48 of ITC (HS) 2022, Schedule-I for Virgin Multi-layer Paper Board (VPB, HS codes 48059100, 48059200, 48059300, 48109200 and 48109900). Imports remain "Free" but are now subject to compulsory registration under the Paper Import Monitoring System (PIMS) and a Minimum Import Price (MIP) of INR 67,220 per metric tonne on CIF value; consignments declared below that floor are reclassified as "Restricted" and require a DGFT authorisation before Customs clearance. Global Trade Alert records China, Brazil and Chile among the affected exporters. The measure was originally set to lapse 31 March 2026 but has since been extended twice, most recently to 30 September 2026.
The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) initiated an anti-dumping investigation on 28 March 2024 concerning imports of Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂, pigment grade; HS 3206.11/3206.19) originating in or exported from China PR (file 14/51/2002-DGAD), on application of Indian domestic producers Travancore Titanium Products Ltd, Kerala Minerals & Metals Ltd (KMML), Meghmani Organochem Ltd, and VV Titanium Pigments Pvt Ltd. Final Findings were issued on 12 February 2025 recommending anti-dumping duties on Chinese TiO₂ imports; those findings were subsequently remanded by court order in October 2025, reopening the determination phase. DGTR issued a second Disclosure Statement on 12 May 2026 and extended the remand timeline on 18 May 2026, with revised Final Findings expected in Q3 2026. The investigation sits within a global TiO₂ anti-dumping cluster targeting Chinese producers alongside parallel EU provisional measures (2024) and USITC AD-CVD proceedings.
