India's Ministry of Steel requested the removal of anti-dumping duties on low-ash metallurgical coke imports to address a 20% rise in input costs. The provisional curbs, imposed in December for six months, targeted imports from China, Indonesia, and other major suppliers. Removing these tariffs could restore operational viability for small steelmakers and state-run firms struggling with domestic supply shortages.
