The improved direct charge transfer (DCT) chute with enhanced life consists of an improved intermediate stone box having supports of square box section (1) with a web at the center, pin supported (8) box supports, toe guard of intermediate stone box provided with additional support (4) at its back, supports of the stone box fixed with high temperature resistant graded bolts (8) having slotted holes. One end of the stone box supports are kept fixed while keeping the other end free when the liners (10) are disposed with a fixing arrangement ensuring no gap between said liner (10) and mother plate. A plurality of ribs of the stone box are welded at first slot (12) only while other two slots (13) are kept free. The chute is made of material which has high temperature corrosion and oxidation resistance.
