Further to the said Orders, to bring uniformity to the allocation process, the Committee decided to allocate RPC and CPC by adopting following criteria: i. The production capacity of Calciners was converted to RPC Input requirement at an industry average conversion rate i.e., 1:1.36

ii. In case the RPC Input permitted in the CTO, was lower than the quantity at the conversion rate, the lower of the two values was considered.
iii. The total quantity permitted for import is allocated on a proportionate basis among the applicants after taking into consideration the production capacity of the applicant and the requirement quoted in the application.
6. In cases where import quantity requested is lower than the import quantity eligible, the arising surplus is redistributed among other applicants proportionately. 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.

The Committee also noted that there were instances of surrendered allocations in the past year. The Committee has deliberated that, in the subsequent years, such non-utilisation or partial utilisation of the allocated quantity by the entities will be factored while considering allocations during subsequent year by way of reducing their allocations. 10.
