In its final findings, the directorate recommended that
anti-dumping duty would be equal to the difference between
271.46 dollars per metric tonnes or 258.46 dollars per metric
tonne and the landed value of imports.
The directorate said that caustic soda had been exported to India from the said countries below its normal value and domestic industry had suffered material injury and was facing threat of further injury. It was necessary to impose anti-dumping duty on all imports of caustic soda to remove the injury to the domestic industry, the directorate said in a notification dated October 01, 2003.
DGAD was acting on a petition by alkali manufacturers Association of India.
