India extends coke import limits and duties until June 2026 to protect domestic steelmakers.

India has extended import restrictions and provisional anti-dumping duties on low-ash metallurgical coke from six countries until June 30, 2026, citing injury to domestic steelmakers. The measures, effective January 1, 2026, limit imports of coke with ash below 18% to specific conditions and impose duties ranging from $60.87 to $130.66 per tonne, depending on the country. These actions, part of broader trade protections, aim to support domestic steel production but may raise costs and reduce efficiency, according to analysts.
