India imposes definitive 5-year anti-dumping duty on low-ash met coke imports

The Finance Ministry has imposed an anti-dumping duty of $42.95 to $128.83 per tonne on the import of low-ash metallurgical coke. This levy covers exports from Australia, China PR, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan and Russia. There is less than 18% ash in the met coke being targeted. The notification said that the anti-dumping duty shall be effective for a period of five years from the date of imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, unless revoked, amended or superseded earlier, and shall be payable in Indian currency. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies had concluded in April 2026 that the product under consideration has been exported to India from the subject countries at dumped prices. This had caused harm to the domestic industry. The duty will raise costs for steel producers. This high-purity carbon fuel is used primarily as a thermal energy source and chemical reducing agent, according to a report.
