Metallurgical Coke Imports in India – 2025 (Short Overview)

India relies heavily on metallurgical coke (Met Coke) imports due to limited domestic production and rising demand from the steel, ferroalloy, and foundry sectors. Met Coke, a high-carbon fuel and reducing agent, is essential for blast furnace iron-making.

Major import sources include China, Russia, Poland, Colombia, and Australia, supplying around 4.5–5 million tonnes annually. Key import ports are Krishnapatnam, Paradip, Kandla, Visakhapatnam, and Haldia.

Typical specifications: Fixed Carbon 85–88%, Ash 11–13%, Sulphur ≤0.5%, CSR ≥60%.
Main Indian consumers include SAIL, JSW, Tata Steel, and Jindal Steel.

In 2025, imports remain strong as domestic output lags demand. Prices range between USD 330–400/MT, with Russia and China dominating supply amid global market volatility.
