8FO and LSHS consumption was down 12.9% in June and 7.7 % in April-June
8Petcoke, a low cost favorite among furnace owners in India, declined a massive 18.6% in June and 1.1% in April-June
8LDO consumption recorded a de-growth of 5.6% and 1.1%

8Gas consumption grew only 0.75% in June and 0.63% in April-June
