Key Findings –

1. The scope of the product under consideration is “aluminium foil 80 microns and below,” originating in or exported from China PR, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand
2. The imports from Thailand and Indonesia are undercutting the prices of the domestic industry. The price undercutting has led to price suppression suffered by the domestic industry.
3. Despite duties in force, there is significant imports, especially from Thailand.
4. There is no demand – supply gap in India, in fact there is surplus capacity with the Indian producers.
5. Chinese exporters are highly export oriented and are likely to export higher quantities if duties cease.
6. The Authority concluded that expiry of anti-dumping duties is likely to result in  recurrence of dumping and injury to the domestic industry.
7. The duties in force have attracted new producers and driven significant capacity development, enabling the Indian industry to diversify into high-value specialty products. The impact of anti-dumping duty on the consumers is insignificant.
