Preliminary Findings in anti-dumping investigation into imports of Low Ash Metallurgical Coke from Australia, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan and Russia. (14 Nov)
The DGTR issued preliminary findings recommending imposition of provisional anti-dumping duty into imports of Low Ash Metallurgical Coke from Australia, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan, and Russia. The investigation was initiated pursuant to an application filed by the Indian Metallurgical Coke Manufacturers Association. The Authority preliminarily determined that the volume of subject imports has increased, accounting for the majority of imports into India. The Authority noted that the subject imports were priced below the selling price and cost of sales of the domestic industry. As a result, the domestic industry was forced to sell at prices below its cost of sales and accordingly, it incurred losses and cash losses, and recorded a negative return on capital employed. A number of producers faced shutdowns due to dumping of the product under consideration in India. The domestic industry has, therefore, suffered material injury due to dumping of subject goods from the subject countries. Accordingly, the Authority recommended imposition of provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of the subject goods from the subject countries.

Final Findings in sunset review of anti-dumping duty into imports of Toluene Di-Isocyanate (TDI) from the European Union and Saudi Arabia. (12 Nov)
The DGTR issued final findings in sunset review of anti-dumping duty into imports of Toluene Di-Isocyanate (TDI) from the European Union and Saudi Arabia. The application for initiation of the sunset review was filed by Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited. The existing duties on imports of TDI from the subject countries were set to lapse on 27th April 2026. The Authority found that after an initial decline in the volume the dumped import have increased in the period of investigation. Additionally, the subject imports are undercutting and suppressing the prices of the domestic industry due to which it has suffered losses. Further, the Authority found that there is likelihood of continuation of dumping and injury in case of cessation of anti-dumping duty in force. The producers in subject countries hold significant idle capacities exceeding their own domestic demand. Further, the prices of participating exporters to third countries when compared to India are higher, thus, the exporters are selectively exporting the goods to India at lower prices. Therefore, the Authority recommended continuation of anti-dumping duty on imports of subject goods from the subject countries.

Consequently, the domestic industry has operated with underutilized capacities, incurred substantial losses and cash losses, and earned negligible returns on capital employed. Owing to these factors, the Authority has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into imports of subject goods from the subject countries.
