India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies recommends anti-dumping duties on metallurgical coke imports from six countries for five years. The provisional duty ranges from $23.84 to $152.27 per metric ton, targeting China, Indonesia, Russia, Japan, Poland, & Colombia. Domestic producers including Tata Steel, JSW Steel, & Steel Authority of India Limited filed petitions alleging material injury from below-cost imports. The measure aims to protect India's metallurgical coke industry, a critical input for blast furnace steelmaking, though it may increase costs for steel manufacturers relying on merchant coke purchases.
