• The Committee has noted that the non-utilisation/partial utilisation is a recurring issue during the previous years. This has resulted in a lack of access to imports for the users who are

in-need of the product, while the quota given to others stays unutilised and lapsed, creating skewed access to the limited resources. 7 Considering the utilisation pattern and the requirement of the industries, the committee has adopted the following criteria for allocation of RPC and CPC: i. The production capacity of Calciners was checked from the documents to verify if the quantity sought was well within the processing capacity. ii. The total quantity permitted for import is allocated among the applicants based on the actual imports undertaken during the Financial Year 2025-26.or 10,000 MT, whichever is more. iii. For new applicants and those who have not utilised during the last Financial Year or who have not submitted their utilisation details, the allocation is limited to 10,000 MT. iv. The balance quota would be considered subsequently in the month of October based on utilization details submitted by the firms. 8. Accordingly, based on the above principles, the Committee decided the import allocation as stated at Annexure-I for CPC & Annexure-II for RPC, subject to’conditions as notified by DGFT.
