Structure Supply and Demand
- Primary: Due to the fact that the RINL facility is about to close and will no longer be producing, there is an extreme shortage of RINL material in India. Additionally, because it is the only producer of round bars, some round bars remain unavailable. Large structural sections are uncommon in many regions, despite the fact that they are absolutely necessary. The current material shortage is having a significant impact on supply.
- Secondary: Secondary mills are not concerned about supply because they have excess inventory for standard sizes. However, there is still a scarcity of billet because TMT demand is rising. As a result, prices on the secondary market are rising. Secondary markets are currently seeing an increase in demand.
Structure News
- India's finished steel imports from China surged to a 7-year high during the first five months of the 2024/25 financial year, according to provisional government data. India’s overall finished steel imports also reached a 6-year high of 3.7 million tons between April and August, indicating that India is now a net importer of steel.
Expert Verdict
- SAIL has raised its rates to reflect the current market pricing, whereas JSPL and RINL have carried over their rates. SAIL prices have increased as a result of a shortage of plant supplies. RINL Round bars are quite popular and can be purchased for a premium price, depending on availability.
- The secondary market mostly deals with upward pricing due to the growing demand for secondary commodities and the rising cost of sponge iron.
