India Ends Anti-Subsidy Probe into Indonesian Clear Float Glass
India has officially terminated its anti-subsidy investigation into imports of clear float glass (CFG) from Indonesia. The decision was set out in final findings issued by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) of India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry on 28 September 2026. The termination provides certainty for Indonesian businesses and opens the way for CFG exports to India to continue.
Indonesia’s Trade Minister, Budi Santoso, welcomed the decision by the Indian authorities. He said it demonstrated the Indonesian Government’s success in supporting exporters facing anti-subsidy investigations in their export markets. The minister, known as Busan, also reaffirmed the Trade Ministry’s commitment to protecting the interests of Indonesian exporters.
“The Trade Ministry will continue to strengthen its defence and assistance for Indonesian exporters facing various trade-remedy investigations in partner countries. This is part of the Indonesian Government’s commitment to safeguarding access to export markets,” Busan said.
India initiated its anti-subsidy investigation into Indonesian CFG on 29 September 2025. From the outset, the Indonesian Government, through the Trade Ministry’s Directorate of Trade Safeguards, actively mounted a defence. The ministry responded to subsidy issues raised by the Indian authorities and submitted the required information in accordance with applicable rules. During the investigation, it co-ordinated with the Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi, the Indonesian Trade Attaché in New Delhi, legal counsel, trade associations and businesses.
The Trade Ministry’s Director General of Foreign Trade, Tommy Andana, described the outcome as a concrete effort by the Indonesian Government to protect domestic businesses. He said the ministry would continue to monitor developments in trade with partner countries.
“The Government will continue to safeguard Indonesian exporters’ interests against potential countervailing duties by providing technical assistance and co-ordinating with businesses. We will also keep monitoring developments in trade-remedy policies in partner countries and ensure Indonesian exporters’ interests are represented in every investigation that could affect access to export markets,” Tommy said.
