Accordingly, Goa Carbon's position in terms of allocation of the imported RPC quota stands the same.

In July 2018, SC ordered a ban on import and use of petcoke as fuel, exempting only a few industries such as cement, lime kiln, calcium carbide and gasification. Later in October 2018, the government permitted imports of certain quantity of pet coke, used for fuel purpose, for anode making by the aluminium industry. It also allowed imports of 1.4 MT per annum pet coke for producing calcined pet coke by the Calcined Pet Coke manufacturing units on actual user condition.
