India’s Directorate General of Trade Remedies recommended anti-dumping duties in June 12, 2026 findings on thermoplastic-polyurethane-based surface/paint-protection film originating in or exported from China. Garware Hi-Tech Films sought the investigation.
Proposed rates range from US$18,504 to US$34,027 per metric tonne, depending on producer and origin/export category. The recommended five years would begin with a Central Government notification, rather than the findings date.
The findings exclude standalone uncoated or base TPU film that does not constitute paint-protection film. Requests to exclude certain finished-film variants were rejected.
No subsequent Finance Ministry imposition notification was verified in this review. These findings alone do not establish an operative duty.
