India opens probe into aluminium imports from four countries
India’s trade remedies agency has opened an anti-dumping investigation into aluminium products imported from China, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand.
The Directorate General of Trade Remedies began the inquiry on its own initiative after receiving representations from an industry association representing 228 manufacturers.
The manufacturers say a sharp rise in dumped imports is harming domestic producers.
The products are used in items such as windows, railings, solar mounting structures and bicycle parts.
The investigation will assess whether dumping occurred and caused injury, then recommend a duty if one is needed to address the harm.
The Finance Ministry will make the final decision on whether to impose a duty.
