MS ERW Square Hollow Section Price (YST 310) 100x100x4mm in Jamshedpur

India’s pipe market shows mixed momentum: DI pipes remain in strong demand due to water-supply projects, while MS ERW sees moderate recovery but faces heavy inventories. New capacities from Vibhor Steel and Rungta Steel reshape supply dynamics amid regional competition.

DI and MS pipe prices remain steady, supported by ongoing infrastructure spending. DI pipes are in high demand due to water supply projects but face supply constraints. MS ERW demand has improved post-monsoon, though high inventories persist. New capacities from Vibhor Steel and Rungta Steel are reshaping supply dynamics.

India’s DI and MS ERW pipe markets show contrasting trends — DI pipe demand remains strong amid supply shortages from water infrastructure projects, while MS ERW prices have risen slightly on improving liquidity and construction activity. New capacity additions may ease regional supply, but inventory overhang persists in some segments.

DI and MS ERW pipe prices strengthened amid improving infrastructure demand and government project spending. DI pipes face supply shortages despite full-capacity production, while MS ERW demand rose by ₹2–3/kg due to increased project orders. New capacities in Odisha and Jharkhand are expanding supply across India.

Ductile Iron (DI) and Mild Steel (MS/ERW) pipe prices remain steady, with DI up to 150 mm at ₹67/kg and MS primary at ₹57–58/kg. October demand is projected 8–15% above September levels as delayed projects resume. Supply is adequate but specialty ERW grades and large diameters may face localized tightness.

DI pipe prices remain firm at ₹67/kg (≤150 mm) and ₹58/kg (>150 mm), supported by strong infrastructure demand. MS ERW pipes trade at ₹57–58/kg (primary) and ₹55–57/kg (secondary). Capacity expansions by Rungta and Vibhor Steel strengthen supply, while global developments like Brazil’s anti-dumping duties influence trade sentiment.

Pipe prices remain under pressure with DI quoted at ₹67/kg (≤150 mm) and ₹58/kg (>150 mm), while MS pipes trade at ₹55–58/kg. Monsoon slowdowns have weakened demand across MS ERW and DI pipes, despite new capacity additions and infrastructure projects. High inventories and discounts continue to dominate the market.

DI 58 pipe prices remain above ₹200/kg on tight supply and project delays, while DI 68 trades at ₹100–150/kg. MS ERW prices are stable at ₹59,000/ton (primary) and ₹56,000/ton (secondary). Demand is subdued now but expected to rise post-monsoon, driven by infrastructure and water supply schemes.

Prices for both DI and MS ERW pipes remained steady despite weak demand caused by monsoon-related project delays and funding bottlenecks. DI pipe producers are fulfilling older bookings with extended lead times, while MS ERW manufacturers are offering discounts to clear high inventories. Meanwhile, Maruti Ispat launched a new ERW pipe brand—MS VAYU, and Tata Metaliks is expanding its DI pipe range to 1200 mm, anticipating stronger demand post-monsoon.
