CONCESSION ON IMPORT DUTY FOR COREX TECHNOLOGY


The customs duty on metallurgical coke has been reduced from 15 per cent to 5 per cent in the Budget 2002-03 for steel units using corex technology. This is in line with the similar concession available to other conventional steel plants using the blast furnace route. The Government is not providing these concessions to other steel plants as they already get concessions.

This information was given by the Minister for Steel Shri B.K.Tripathy in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
