The Government’s move to extend Minimum Import Price (MIP) on Virgin Multi-layer Paper Board (VMPB) for a period of six months, marks a significant step toward protecting the domestic industry from the influx of low-priced imports. The decision is aimed at curbing unfair trade practices, particularly dumping, which has put pressure on local manufacturers’ margins and market share. By setting a price threshold, the policy seeks to create a level playing field and ensure fair competition. Industry stakeholders believe the move will help stabilize prices and improve capacity utilization across domestic mills. It is also expected to encourage investment and strengthen the long-term sustainability of the sector.
