India has extended anti-dumping duties on aluminium foil imports from China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia until December 15, 2026. This decision follows a Sunset Review initiated by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies and requests from domestic companies concerned about unfair trade practices.
The Centre on Wednesday decided to extend anti-dumping duty on aluminium foil imported from China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia till December 15, 2026.
Several companies, including Hindalco Industries and SRF Altech, had requested this measure.
The Ministry of Finance through a notification amended Notification No. 51/2021-Customs (ADD) dated September 16, 2021, inserting a new provision stating that, notwithstanding anything contained in the earlier notification, the anti-dumping duty will continue to remain in force up to and including December 15, 2026.
The amendment was notified under Section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, read with the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-Dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995.
The move follows an ongoing Sunset Review of the anti-dumping measure covering imports of "aluminium foil 80 micron and below" originating in or exported from China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The review was initiated by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) on September 29, 2025, to examine whether the duty should continue.
As part of the review process, the trade body held an oral hearing on April 28, allowing interested parties to present their views on the continuation of the duty.
The latest extension ensures that the levy remains operational while the review process is completed and a final decision is taken on the future of the measure.
