SHANGHAI, Sept. 21 (SMM) – Domestic low and high-grade NPI producers meet difficulties in buying coke and coking coal, Shanghai Metals Market learns.
The difficulties came mainly from environmental protection inspections in Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, which tightened supply shortages of coke and coking coal. This also grew production costs at domestic NPI producers.
