The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has recommended imposing definitive anti-dumping duties ranging from $442 to $565 per 100,000 pieces on medical examination rubber glove imports from Thailand and Malaysia for a period of five years. The proposed trade defense measure follows petitions from domestic manufacturers who suffered material injury and declining profitability due to an influx of low-priced foreign goods. In a parallel trade action, the DGTR initiated a suo motu anti-dumping investigation into aluminium extrusion profiles, structures, and industrial articles imported from China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand, which collectively constitute 90 percent of India’s imports in the category. Representing 228 micro, small, and medium enterprises, the Aluminium Extrusion Manufacturers Association of India (ALEMAI) reported severe undercutting of domestic prices, capacity underutilisation, and depressed returns during the investigation window spanning April 2025 to June 2026. Final implementation of these protective tariffs rests with the Ministry of Finance.
