JSW Steel has requested an increased low-ash met coke import quota due to operational issues at key plants in India.

• JSW cited difficulties at Karnataka and Chhattisgarh units, facing shortfalls under the current quota cap of 1.4 million tons.
• High logistics costs and inadequate internal supply hinder the movement of surplus stock from other company locations.
• India is probing anti-dumping on met coke imports; the government pushes for domestic sourcing amid rising foreign dependence.
