India has extended countervailing duties on textured tempered glass imports from Malaysia for another 5 years
The duty rates range from 9.71% to 10.14% and apply to specified solar glass products imported from Malaysia
The decision follows a DGTR review that concluded ending the duties could lead to continued harm to India's domestic solar glass industry
India's Ministry of Finance has extended the countervailing duty (CVD) on imports of textured tempered glass originating in, or exported from, Malaysia, for a period of 5 years from the date of the publication of the notification (dated June 2, 2026) in the country’s official gazette.
The decision follows a review under which the administration found that ending the duty could lead to continued or recurring subsidization and injury to domestic manufacturers. It supersedes the earlier 5-year CVD imposed on Malaysian solar glass since March 2021.
The duty will then continue on textured toughened (tempered) glass with a minimum transmission of 90.5%, a thickness not exceeding 4.2 mm (including tolerance of 0.2 mm), and at least one dimension exceeding 1,500 mm, whether coated or uncoated. The duty ranges from 9.71% to 10.14%, and includes Xinyi Solar (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. and SBH Kibing Solar New Materials (M) Sdn. Bhd. in the list, according to a gazette notification.
In March 2026, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), in its final findings, recommended the continued imposition of the duties.
India’s leading solar glass manufacturer, Borosil Renewables, has welcomed the Government of India’s decision, saying it addresses the damage caused by dumped and subsidized imports.
“This measure will not only protect domestic manufacturers but also accelerate investments in expansion of local production, driving exponential growth across India’s solar glass industry,” stated Borosil Renewables.
Meanwhile, solar glass imports from China and Vietnam have been subject to anti-dumping duties ranging from $570/MT to $664/MT for 5 years, effective since December 4, 2024, following a DGTR investigation at the request of Borosil Renewables (see India Imposes Anti-Dumping Duty On Imported Solar Glass).
