"India’s dependence on imported coking coal has been the concern for steel and power sectors. The country’s coking coal import increased to 43.53 MT from 38.83 MT during the period April’ 17 to February’ 18 recording a surge of 12.10 per cent with CPLY."

....

"In the workshop, over 100 participants of the industry put their ideas for augmenting supplies of Coking and Metallurgical Coal to the steel sector by improved coal washing. It focusses on challenges in making quality Coke to suit large capacity blast furnaces, and also on the process of development and blending in Coal and Coke Making to enhance indigenous coking coal supply through beneficiation."

If only there was a way to remove the need for coking coal altogether and use the abundantly available resources.....hmmmmm.
