The government would raise the tariff to 15 percent from 10 percent, Jaitley said in his budget for the next fiscal year.
The move will help local companies that were fast losing their market share in the world's fourth largest producer of the alloy.
India will also raise the import tax on metallurgical coal to 5 percent from 2.5 percent.
