India: DGTR recommends five more years of anti-dumping duties on Chinese aluminium foil
At the end of a sunset review opened in September 2025, India's DGTR recommended on 24 September 2026 extending for five years the anti-dumping duties on aluminium foil of 80 microns and below imported from China, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, pending final notification by the Ministry of Finance.

The DGTR, under the Indian Ministry of Commerce, concluded its sunset review on 24 September 2026 of the anti-dumping duties applicable to aluminium foil of 80 microns and below originating in China, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. The investigation had been opened in September 2025 at the request of Indian producers, including Hindalco Industries and SRF Altech, and an oral hearing was held in April 2026.
The DGTR recommends a five-year extension, with duties ranging from 93.53 to 976.99 dollars per tonne depending on the supplier; the exact breakdown by country and exporter could not be fully verified from the available sources. This recommendation must still be formally adopted by the Ministry of Finance through a notification to take effect in its final form.
Pending this final notification, the current regime remains in force: an interim extension, published in June 2026 by amendment to notification No. 51/2021-Customs (ADD), keeps the existing duties in place until 15 December 2026, while the review is completed.
This affects Indian importers of thin aluminium foil, used notably in food and pharmaceutical packaging, as well as Chinese, Thai, Malaysian and Indonesian exporters of this product to India.

For an Indian importer of thin aluminium foil sourced in China, Thailand, Malaysia or Indonesia, the anti-dumping duty regime will continue without interruption for five more years once the final notification is published: it remains worth checking the precise rate applicable to the chosen supplier before signing a large order. Sorva can help compare aluminium foil suppliers across several Asian countries and document the real manufacturing origin required by Indian customs.
