DGTR Proposes Anti-Dumping Duty on Aluminium

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has proposed imposing an anti-dumping duty of up to Rs.577 per tonne on aluminium frames imported from China, as reported by the Economic Times. This move aims to address concerns about unfair trade practices and protect the domestic aluminium industry from the adverse effects of low-cost imports.

The proposed anti-dumping duty comes in response to allegations that Chinese aluminium frames are being sold in the Indian market at prices below fair market value. Such practices are deemed harmful to domestic manufacturers, potentially leading to market distortion and financial losses for local producers.

The duty is designed to level the playing field by raising the cost of imported aluminium frames, thereby making domestic products more competitive. This measure is part of a broader strategy to safeguard India's manufacturing sector and ensure fair trade practices.

Industry stakeholders have expressed support for the proposal, emphasizing its potential to enhance market stability and encourage local production. The anti-dumping duty is expected to reduce the influx of undervalued imports, allowing Indian manufacturers to regain market share and strengthen their business operations.
