Govt initiates anti-dumping probe on met coke imports from 6 countries
 
India has initiated an anti-dumping probe over imports of low-ash metallurgical coal, or met coke, from Australia, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan and Russia at the behest of the Indian Metallurgical Coke Manufacturers Association, according to a government notification. Imports have reportedly more than doubled over the past four years. The trade body has said that there is no difference in the quality of imported and domestically produced met coke, a key steel-making ingredient, according to the notification. The association is demanding anti-dumping duties on imports from the countries mentioned. In December, India, the world’s second-biggest producer of crude steel, imposed quantitative curbs with country-specific quotas on imports of low-ash met coke, restricting overseas purchases to 1.4 million metric tonnes from January to June, as per a report.
