Background
On August 11, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
this administrative review in the Federal Register and invited
interested parties to comment.\1\ Due to the lapse in appropriations
and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled
all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days.\2\
Additionally, due to a backlog of documents that were electronically
filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal
Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all
deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days.\3\
Finally, on February 9, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for
issuing the final results by 15 days.\4\ Accordingly, the deadline for
these final results is now March 2, 2026.

sheet from India. For a complete description of the scope of this
Order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised by the interested parties in their case and
rebuttal briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A
list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is
provided in the appendix to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments from interested parties, we made
no changes to MALCO's countervailable subsidy rate calculations from
the Preliminary Results.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ For a full description of this analysis, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with
section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we find that
there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial contribution
that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.\7\ For a full description of the methodology underlying all
of Commerce's conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Administrative Review
As a result of this review, Commerce determines the following net
countervailable subsidy rate exists for the period January 1, 2023
through December 31, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy rate
Company (percent ad
valorem)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manaksia Aluminum Company Limited...................... 3.10
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these
final results of review within five days of any public announcement or,
if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review, for MALCO at the applicable ad valorem assessment rate
listed. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results
of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at
the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends
to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing
duties in the amounts shown above for MALCO on shipments of the subject
merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the final results of this
administrative review. For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP
to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties
at the all-others rate or most recent company-specific rate applicable
to the company, as appropriate. These cash deposit requirements,
effective upon publication of these final results, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the final reminder to parties subject to
an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
