(Hindu Business Line) -- India has imposed anti-dumping duty of up to $323.5 a tonne of polypropylene, for making woven sacks used for carrying cement, foodgrains, sugar and fertiliser, from Oman, Singapore and Saudi Arabia to protect the domestic industry from cheap imports.
The restrictive duty, which would range from $28.49 a tonne to $323.5 a tonne, was imposed on the recommendation of the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD), a notification by the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) said.
The DGAD, under the commerce ministry, had found that due to imports of the product from the three nations, the domestic industry suffered ⌠material injury, it said.
