China on Friday requested consultations with India at the World Trade Organization (WTO) over India's tariffs on information and communication technology (ICT) products and Indian photovoltaic subsidies, according to a Ministry of Commerce spokesperson.

India's measures are suspected of violating multiple WTO obligations, including the principle of national treatment, and constitute import substitution subsidies explicitly prohibited under WTO rules, the spokesperson said in a statement posted on the official website of the Ministry of Commerce, adding that they grant unfair competitive advantages to India's domestic industries while undermining China's interests.

China urges India to honor its WTO commitments and promptly adjust these measures, said the spokesperson.

It came after China filed a separate WTO complaint in October this year against India over unfair subsidies for electric vehicles and batteries.
