According to the notification, anti-dumping duties are proposed to be applied to imports of metallurgical coke with an ash content below 18% (HS codes 27040010, 27040020, 27040030, and 27040090). Ultra-low phosphorus metallurgical coke used in ferroalloy production, with a maximum phosphorus content of 0.030% and a size of 30 mm (±5% tolerance), is excluded from the scope.
The proposal follows the provisional anti-dumping duty measures that came into effect at the beginning of 2026 and are valid until June 30. DGTR recommended reductions in the existing duties for certain countries. Accordingly, it suggested lowering the duty for Indonesia from $82.75/ton to $67.50/ton, and for Japan from $60.87/ton to $42.95/ton. More limited reductions were proposed for China, Colombia, Russia, and Australia.
As a result of DGTR’s investigation covering the period from October 2023 to September 2024, it was determined that dumping practices had a negative impact on domestic production and that the continuation of anti-dumping duties is necessary.
The Indian government had controlled imports throughout 2025 with country-specific quotas and subsequently implemented provisional anti-dumping duties as of December 31, 2025.
