DGFT Extends Import Restrictions on Low Ash Metallurgical Coke

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has extended import restrictions on low ash metallurgical coke. This decision aims to control the influx of this specific type of coke, which is crucial for various industrial processes, especially in the steel sector. The extension of restrictions could be a measure to protect domestic producers, ensure quality standards, or manage supply chain stability. By maintaining these restrictions, DGFT seeks to balance the needs of Indian industries with the objective of fostering self-reliance and preventing market distortions from excessive or unmonitored imports of this key industrial commodity.
