Anti-dumping duty on Chinese solar components a game changer for domestic aluminium producers

The Aluminium Association of India (AAI) welcomes the Indian government's decision to impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese anodised aluminium frames used in solar components. This measure is anticipated to strengthen the domestic aluminium industry by limiting low-cost imports, improving market opportunities for local producers, and promoting self-reliance within the sector.

To strengthen the domestic aluminium industry, the Indian government has introduced anti-dumping duties on anodised aluminium frames used in solar panels and modules imported from China. The Aluminium Association of India (AAI) supports this measure to boost local production, improve market access, and foster self-reliance within the sector.

The duties, effective for five years, aim to curb the inflow of low-cost imports that have impeded the growth of India's manufacturing capacity. A notification from the Ministry of Finance highlights the adverse impact of Chinese imports on the development of domestic producers.
