Industry Dynamics

Coke - a derivative of metallurgical coking coal is particularly a raw material used by various industries. Being a vital component in the process of conversion of metallurgical ores into metal, coke plays an important role in the metal industry. The coke industry is dominated by large integrated steel plants (ISPs). Traditionally, coke production has been captive, thus ISPs leaving a meager surplus for merchant trading. But during the last 10 years, a number of pig iron plants have been built in India without captive coke making facilities. Also, most coke oven batteries are located in the eastern region of the country in proximity to steel units. As a result, coke consumers in the western and southern regions have to rely primarily on imported coke.

Major Coke consuming industries

• Pig iron producers and Steel Industry

• Foundry industry

• Ferro- alloys industry

• Blast Furnaces

• Zinc and lead producers

• Cement Industry

Current Dynamics

With the global slowdown engulfing the world, the infrastructure sector has also suffered contraction and consequently steel producers world over have cut down production. This has caused a direct impact on coke demand and pulled down prices. Being cautious in the fragile market scenario, players are keeping low inventory levels and thus the coke demand has seen downturn.
