The Central Government has extended the anti-dumping duty applicable to aluminium foil imports from four countries. The decision ensures that the levy remains in force until December 15, 2026, while an ongoing review of the measure continues. 

Duty To Continue on Aluminium Foil Imports 

The extension applies to aluminium foil of 80 micron and below originating in or exported from China, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. 

The Ministry of Finance issued a notification amending the existing anti-dumping duty framework and stated that the levy will remain effective up to and including December 15, 2026.

As part of the process, the DGTR conducted an oral hearing on April 28, 2026, where interested parties were given an opportunity to present their views.
