DGTR Initiates Anti-Dumping Probes on Aluminium and Rubber Glove Imports
India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has initiated anti-dumping investigations into aluminium extrusion imports from China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand, following complaints from the Aluminium Extrusion Manufacturers Association of India about injury to domestic producers. Separately, DGTR has proposed anti-dumping duties on medical rubber gloves imported from Thailand and Malaysia to protect domestic manufacturers. These measures aim to address alleged dumping practices and restore fair competition in Indian markets, with final decisions pending from the finance ministry.
