Indian Government to Start Investigation on Anti-dumping Duty on Met Coke Imports

The association has proposed the investigation on imposition of the duty mentioning injury to the domestic industry due to exports. The product considered in the investigation is Low Ash Metallurgical coke (Met coke). However, Metallurgical coke with high ash content (more tha18%) will not be considered for investigation.

Furthermore, domestic manufacturers who produce Met coke for captive use, are excluded from the above proposal.
