Met-coke shortage remains a bottleneck for Indian steel mills in H1 2025
Steel mills in India only sourced ~50% of their met-coke needs in H1 2025, raising supply-chain risks for steel-using industries.
India’s steel mills managed to secure only about half of their metallurgical-coke (met-coke) requirement in the first half of 2025, sourcing ~1.5 million tons out of ~3.09 million tons demand. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} The shortfall has been exacerbated by domestic production constraints and import quotas aimed at spurring local supply. Steel makers such as JSW Steel and ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India say the limits hamper expansion and impede access to preferred coke grades. The supply-gap carries risk for downstream auto-components and manufacturing sectors, that depend on steady steel feedstock flows.
