In a bid to safeguard the interests of its domestic aluminium industry, India has taken a significant step by initiating an anti-dumping investigation into the import of aluminium foil from China.

This move comes in response to complaints filed by key domestic players such as Hindalco Industries, Shyam Sel & Power Ltd, and others, who have alleged dumping practices by Chinese exporters. Aluminium foil serves as a vital packaging material, particularly for the preservation and protection of edible and food products.

Allegations and investigation

The DGTR or Directorate General of Trade Remedies, which falls directly under the commerce ministry, has begun its probe based on prima facie evidence provided by the domestic industry, indicating the injury suffered due to dumped imports.

"The authority hereby initiates an anti-dumping investigation into the alleged dumping and consequent material injury to the domestic industry," the notification read.

The applicants have pointed out the alleged dumping of aluminium foil from China, prompting the authority to initiate a thorough investigation into the matter. If proven, such dumping could result in material harm to domestic players, leading to recommendations for the imposition of anti-dumping duties on imported foil.
