印度的LAM焦炭进口限制正在使钢铁成本上升20-25%,从而威胁到工业竞争力。 India's LAM coke import limits are driving up steel costs by 20–25%, threatening industry competitiveness.

印度对钢铁生产至关重要的低灰煤 (LAM Coke) 进口限制, 导致生产成本和价格上, India's import restrictions on low ash metallurgical coke (LAM Coke), vital for steelmaking, are raising production costs and prices, a GTRI report says. 尽管对成品钢出口实行高关税保护,但配额和基于不准确运费基准的高额反倾销税在2025年初将进口限制在150万吨,远远低于所需的300万吨。 Despite high duties protecting finished steel exports, quotas and inflated anti-dumping duties—based on inaccurate freight benchmarks—have limited imports to 1.5 million tonnes in early 2025, far below the 3 million tonnes needed. 由于LAM可乐占钢铁成本的35-40%,20-25%的价格上涨促使钢铁成品价格上升了3-5 % , 挤压利润率并威胁竞争力。 With LAM Coke making up 35–40% of steel costs, price hikes of 20–25% have driven finished steel prices up 3–5%, squeezing margins and threatening competitiveness. 报告敦促政府扩大配额,使用切合实际的航运数据调整关税。 The report urges the government to expand quotas and use realistic shipping data to recalibrate duties.
