DGTR recommended a duty of $73.5/mt on imports from Australia, followed by a duty of $130/t for China, $120/t for Colombia, $83/t for Indonesia, $61/t for Japan and $85/t for Russia.
After investigating the import of meth-coke, DGTR concluded that dumping from the countries concerned is substantial and exceeds the minimum threshold and undermines prices in the domestic industry, the official said.
The Indian Metallurgical Coke Producers Association (IMCOM) has requested a dumping probe, which accounts for about 85 percent of domestic production.
In April of this year, the Indian government initiated an anti-dumping investigation into imports of raw materials from Australia, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan and Russia.
Domestic producers argued that these countries were selling meth-coke at unfairly low prices, harming local producers.
Earlier in January, the government also imposed quantitative restrictions on the import of meth-coke to protect domestic producers.
