It is also a key component in the **Pulverized Coal Injection (PCI)** process. * **Market Opportunity:** The global Met Coke market is projected to reach **$159.3 billion by 2026** with a **CAGR of 3.4%**. In India, the sector is bolstered by the **National Steel Policy** and the **Steel Scrap Recycling Policy**. * **Competitive Landscape:** Despite favorable macro trends, the company faces significant pressure from **indigenous competitors** and **imported coal**, alongside volatility in raw material supply chains. --- ### **Operational Infrastructure and Governance Framework** The company maintains a centralized physical footprint, though its primary manufacturing facility is currently non-operational. * **Manufacturing Base:** A single factory located at **Jealgora, G.T.
